Super Tuesday 2024 results: who has won in each state?
It may have been the most predictable Super Tuesdays for some time, as the expected candidates for the Democrats and Republicans starred.
The highly anticipated Super Tuesday of 2024 saw Republican frontrunner Donald Trump sweeping through the nominating contests across fifteen states, including the populous California and Texas. This crucial day in the presidential election cycle allocated more than a third of the total delegates, with a threshold of 1,215 needed to clinch the nomination. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden faced no significant challenges within the Democratic Party for his nomination.
Here’s a detailed look at the ground realities of the Republican primary battle between Trump and his remaining rival, Nikki Haley – who took just a single state – including the latest projections from Edison Research:
Virginia
