America’s Super Tuesday results have rolled in, and President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump have – as predicted – dominated at the polls. We won’t go through every result (you can do that here), but there are a few notable points… Republicans in Vermont gave their backing to Nikki Haley, but that’s where the good news ended for Trump’s last remaining Republican rival, and overnight she announced that’s the end of her campaign. She said it was up to Trump to now “earn the votes” of her supporters. Trump’s feeling good about it, calling Super Tuesday an “amazing day” and declaring “I will win this election”. Biden also suffered a defeat in one primary, with venture capitalist Jason Palmer winning in American Samoa. Vice President Kamala Harris called Biden’s almost clean sweep “an energising moment for our campaign”.
