After Super Tuesday polls closed in 2024, Donald Trump delivered a decisive blow to Nikki Haley's campaign, winning key states and substantially increasing his delegate count. With a significant portion of the 854 Republican delegates up for grabs, Trump is now close to securing the 1,215 delegates required for the nomination. This dominant performance indicates a swift consolidation of support within the Republican Party, suggesting that Trump could finalize his primary bid as soon as the following week. Meanwhile, despite Nikki Haley's earlier commitment to support the eventual Republican nominee, doubts have emerged about whether she will honor this pledge after Trump's overwhelming success. On the Democratic side, President Joe Biden, facing minimal opposition, aims to strengthen his support within the party in preparation for the general election. Super Tuesday also marked important down-ballot primaries, influencing the political landscape in Senate, House, and gubernatorial races across key states.
