There will be contests in 15 states on this year's Super Tuesday, with voters going to the polls in every time zone in the continental US
Here are 9 things to watch forLIVE: Super Tuesday results 2024The beginning of the end of the 2024 presidential primaries starts Tuesday, when President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are expected to all but clinch a rematch of their 2020 contest eight months ahead of the November general election.With 64% of the expected vote recorded, Biden has 91% of the vote , while the 'Uncommitted' option has 4% . Dean Phillips has 3% and Marianne Williamson has 2% .
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.
Haley's big decision, whether it comes late Tuesday night, Wednesday morning or in a couple more weeks will be how she frames her defeat - and how she addressed the victor. It seems unlikely, especially given some of her more recent comments, that she will whole-heartedly endorse Trump. Perhaps helpful in that regard is Trump's strong performance in the GOP contest. Whatever the Democratic rank-and-file thinks about Biden today, the specter of Trump returning to the White House always has and will be critical to the president's strength.Trump's base is pretty much set in stone. But if 2020 was any indication, it won't be enough to win him the election. Instead, the former president will need to make at least modest inroads with college-educated suburban voters.
Biden's approval ratings in the state are not good, but North Carolina Republicans' abortion ban - passed over the objection of the Democratic governor - was less popular and only made possible because of a turncoat lawmaker who joined the GOP.On a Super Tuesday with an unusual lack of spice, the North Carolina gubernatorial primary is a rare exception.
Democrats, from Biden to Stein on down, are going to make sure voters know his record - and make him answer for it.Six years after then-Rep. Beto O'Rourke's near-miss loss to Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, Democrats remain winless in Texas statewide races since 1994. Allred, a former NFL player who won his House seat by ousting a Republican incumbent in a hard-fought 2018 race, has focused on health care - including his support for the Affordable Care Act and abortion rights. He is also a prolific fundraiser, outraising Cruz $4.8 million to $3.4 million in 2023's fourth quarter and ending the year with $10 million in the bank to Cruz's $6.2 million.
Those conservatives make up a minority of the state's electorate, to be sure, but if they consolidate behind one candidate and the Democratic vote is fractured, it could be enough for Garvey to make the top two. The new 2nd District, which now includes much of the Black Belt, is seen as a likely Democratic pickup. Eleven Democratic candidates, including five state lawmakers, and seven Republicans are on Tuesday's primary ballots. The huge fields mean it's unlikely any single candidate gets more than 50% of the vote, so one or both primaries could go to an April runoff featuring the top two finishers.
