As the United States gears up for the upcoming general election in November, the presidential candidates are making their way through the primaries.
Super Tuesday is a significant date in this process, as it is the day when the most states hold their presidential primaries or caucuses, making it a crucial day for the candidates.
This year, Super Tuesday falls on March 5, 2024. A total of sixteen primaries will take place, with states like Maine, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Virginia in the east, and Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Tennessee in the midwest, among others, participating in the election.
Notably, California, Colorado, and Utah will also be holding their primaries on this day, along with American Samoa, a US territory, and Alaska. Additionally, Iowa’s Democratic mail-in caucus will conclude on Super Tuesday.
For current President Joe Biden, Super Tuesday will be a day with significant stakes. Biden, who is seeking reelection, faces challenges from Minnesota congressman Dean Phillips and author Marianne Williamson in the Democratic primary. With 1420 Democratic delegates at stake on Super Tuesday, the outcome of the day’s elections could have a significant impact on the race.
On the Republican side, former President Donald Trump leads the pack as the primary candidate. Former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley is also in contention, with 865 Republican delegates up for grabs on Super Tuesday.
As voters across the country head to the polls, the results of Super Tuesday will play a crucial role in shaping the race for the upcoming general election later this year. Stay tuned for more updates and analysis on the US presidential primaries.
