Super Tuesday 2024 results: Biden and Trump steamroll through primary states, Haley wins VT

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley scored a surprise victory on Super Tuesday, upsetting Donald Trump to win Vermont.
Wednesday, March 6, 2024
President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump, romped coast-to-coast on Super Tuesday, all but cementing a November rematch and increasing pressure on the former president's last major rival, Nikki Haley, to leave the Republican race.

Biden and Trump each won California, Texas, Alabama, Colorado, Maine, Oklahoma, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Minnesota and Massachusetts. Biden also won the Democratic contests in Utah, Vermont and Iowa.

Trump, Biden increase delegate lead on Super Tuesday


Haley won Vermont, denying Trump a full sweep, but the former president carried other states that might have been favorable to her such as Virginia, Massachusetts and Maine, which have large swaths of moderate voters like those who have backed her in previous primaries.

Biden will win the Iowa Democratic caucus



With 95% of the expected vote recorded, Biden has 91% of the vote (around 11,080), while the 'Uncommitted' option has 4% (480). Dean Phillips has 3% (362) and Marianne Williamson has 2% (268).

Iowa Democrats cast their Presidential Preference votes by mail in 2024, instead of participating in their traditional, first-in-the-nation in-person caucus as usual.

The party adhered to the Democratic National Committee's new early nomination calendar by opting for mail-in ballots listing incumbent President Joe Biden, Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips, Marianne Williamson, and an option for "uncommitted," instead of allocating delegates during a caucus.

Iowa Democrats caucused only for party-building purposes when Republicans caucused for their presidential preferences on Jan. 15.



Even the astronauts voted



NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O'Hara voted in today's primaries ... from outer space.

The two have been orbiting the earth aboard the International Space Station for roughly six months, but both still found a way to exercise their civic right.



States that vote on Super Tuesday



There will be contests in 16 states on this year's Super Tuesday, with voters going to the polls in every time zone in the continental US, from Alaska and California to Colorado, Minnesota and North Carolina. Results from the Democratic Iowa mail-in caucus will also be reported. By the time it's done, Biden and Trump are both expected to have racked up large numbers of delegates and showdowns will be in place for critical congressional seats and powerful governor's mansions.
The primaries will also offer additional insight into the strengths and weaknesses of the leading candidates as big-dollar campaigns test their standing with key pieces of the electorate across a country that appears as divided as ever. Inside the parties, long-simmering ideological battles will play out in typically low-turnout, down-ballot primaries.

For former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, Trump's last remaining hurdle to his third GOP presidential nomination, Tuesday marks what is likely her final opportunity to upend the race and slow Trump.
