As mentioned earlier, the Super Tuesday is being conducted today, and it is considered to be the busiest and one of the biggest days of the US Presidential Elections, specifically for the primary elections and caucuses before the main Election Day on November 5, 2024. On Super Tuesday, Democrats and Republicans vote on who they want to run for president and other offices.
After Democrats and Republicans vote on Super Tuesday, the votes are tallied and then delegates are awarded. Delegates, by the way, are people chosen to represent their community at their political party’s presidential nominating convention. They are the ones who actually select the candidate to represent their party on the November ballot. Candidates need to win a majority of them to pick up their party’s nomination. And no other date has more of those delegates at stake than Super Tuesday.
Nobody will become the presumptive nominee after Tuesday’s primaries. But President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are expected to get close. The Super Tuesdays have the power to make or break a candidate. Biden is the incumbent and the only major candidate for Democrats. He faces only token opposition. On the Republican side, Donald Trump has won nearly every primary so far and is expected to win big on Tuesday, too.
The Super Tuesday will be conducted in Maine (northeast) to California (West Coast), remote Pacific territory od American Samoa, Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Minnesoa, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Virginia. This Super Tuesday is the last chance for Indian-origin US Presidential candidate Nikki Haley to move ahead of Trump and win the Republican nomination.
