Trump achieves key victories on “Super Tuesday” – 2024-03-09 11:11:00
The former president of USA Donald Trump (2017-2021) took a big step towards the Republican nomination this Tuesday and managed to come out even stronger in the primaries held on ‘Super Tuesday’, with victories in key states such as Texaswhich bring him closer to the figure necessary to confirm his candidacy.
With 57% of the votes counted, the Republican would achieve 76.9% of the votes compared to 18.1% of Nikki Haleyhis only rival, and with this he would win the majority of the 161 delegates distributed (proportionally, in this case) by this state, the one with the greatest representation along with California (169), whose polls still remain open.
The former US president also won in Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee y Maineas well as in Virginia y North Carolinasome of the states that held primaries tonight on the relevant date of ‘Super Tuesday’.
According to an estimated count by ABC News, with several elections still pending, Trump now has 739 delegates of the 1,215 necessary for the mathematical nomination.
Victory seems clear in the majority of states for which data is known at this time, except in Vermontin which the margin is very close and her only rival, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, could still win.
This Tuesday, 865 Republican delegates were distributed, 35.6% of the total. Until now, Trump had 273 compared to Haley’s 43 and had won in all the primaries and caucuses that had been held, in states such as Iowa, New Hampshire or South Carolina.

His eternal hated city, Washington DCwhich he always describes as a “swamp”, was the only one he failed to win and in which Haley emerged victorious.
Thus, the most likely thing is that his hypothetical mathematical nomination will happen on the 12th, where 161 delegates will be distributed in primaries from states such as Georgia (59) o Washington (43).
But it will certainly achieve it – barring a major surprise – on the 19th, where 350 delegates will be awarded in states like Florida (125) y Ohio (79).
Trump also achieved victory this Tuesday in Colorado with 63% of the votes compared to Haley’s 34% (with 93% counted), after just yesterday the Supreme Court determined that the former president could run in the primaries.
He thereby rejected the ruling of a court in this state that determined his expulsion โ clinging to an article of the Constitution โ for his participation in the assault on the Capitol, when a horde of Trumpists attacked Congress to try to stop the ratification of the victory of Joe Biden.
In total, Republican primaries were held today in 15 states of the 50 that make up the country, including California y Texasthe largest in the United States.
Democratic and Republican voters also went to the polls. Alabama, Arkansas, alaska, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont y Virginia.
Trump is inching closer to the Republican nomination, which will be officially confirmed at the Republican National Convention taking place July 15-18 in Milwaukee (Wisconsin).
And all this despite all the trials against him. One in Georgia for trying to alter the 2020 presidential elections; another in Washington DC for his participation in the assault on the Capitol; another in New York for alleged irregular payments to the porn actress Stormy Daniels; and another in Florida for having illegally stored classified material in his mansion in Mar-a-Lago after leaving power.
In addition, the Supreme Court is pending to hold a hearing the week of April 22 on whether Trump can be tried for electoral interference in the 2020 presidential elections or if he has immunity. EFE (I)

Trump’s main opponent, former governor of South Carolina Nikki Haley, congratulated the ex-president on his victory, but according to her, the race is far from over.
President Joe Biden won the Democratic primary. According to AP agency the possibility of a repeat of his election battle with Trump from 2020 is becoming increasingly clear.
According to the US intelligence website CNN television Biden said that at this point it is already clear that Trump will be the party candidate for the Republicans. In response to his victory, Biden began selling “Together we will beat Trump again” t-shirts as part of his campaign.
Trump was entering the second act of the process by which the Republican Party chooses its candidate for the presidential election as the clear favorite. Originally, more than a dozen candidates ran against him. Some withdrew before the primary vote in Iowa last week, and several other candidates, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, dropped out in light of the results there.

That leaves Haley
Only Haley remains among Trump’s major challengers. In response to the results of the New Hampshire primary, she told her supporters that “the race is far from over.” Congratulating Trump on his victory, she promised to keep fighting and challenged him to a debate, she said Reuters agency. Trump’s nomination for the presidency would be a “Biden victory,” she said.
According to CNN estimates, after more than half of the Republican votes were counted, Trump won 54.4 percent of the vote, while the former US ambassador to the United Nations got 43.6 percent of the vote.
The New Hampshire primary was also held by the local branch of the Democratic Party, but the vote was held without the approval of the party’s national leadership due to internal party disputes. According to AP estimates, President Biden won it, who has no serious rivals in the nomination process. However, his success is more symbolic, since the delegate votes won in New Hampshire will not be taken into account at the summer Democratic nominating convention.
Trump’s easy victories in the first two states indicate his ability to unite the various factions of the Republican Party behind him. But about half of Republican primary participants said they were very or somewhat worried that Trump was too extreme to win the presidential election, according to an AP poll in New Hampshire. Only about a third of respondents said the same about Haley.

Mike Pence Criticizes Opponent’s Stance on Aid to Ukraine and Warns of Consequences
Former Vice President of the United States said: States can either send weapons to Ukraine, or in the future they will be forced to fight.
Former US Vice President Mike Pence has harshly criticized his opponent in the Republican Party primaries, Vivic Ramaswamy, who advocates stopping aid to Ukraine in the war with Russia.
During debate Pence said that a Russian victory in Ukraine is the main threat to the United States and NATO, so the American side has a choice: either provide Kiev with weapons or send its troops to the territory of the North Atlantic Alliance in the future to repel the Russian invasion.
In addition, Pence called Ramaswamy a communist, and Russian President Vladimir Putin a murderer and dictator, which caused applause in the hall.
During the debate, Ramaswami called for the end of support for Ukraine in order โnot to drive the Kremlin even more into the hands of Beijing,โ and before the debate he said that it was necessary to allow the Russian Federation to maintain control over some of the captured Ukrainian territories in exchange for Russia cutting ties with China.
After the debate, explaining his statements to the media, he said that he was against providing assistance to Ukraine, as it “meets the interests of the United States.” According to Ramaswamy, the war in Ukraine will allegedly end “right now” if Washington “stops funding it.”
Recall, according to the polls, Ramaswami ranks third (7%) among Republicans applying for participation in the US presidential election. He is behind Donald Trump (62%) and Ron DeSantis (16%). Pence is outside the top three with 5%.
Analysts have noted that Trump’s ratings are rising despite problems with the law, but this does not guarantee him an overall victory, since his anti-rating is high among Democrats and undecided voters.
