The former tenant of the White House is aiming for a “grand slam” this night and a victory in all the states which organize a Republican primary.

However, Nikki Haley, largely behind in the nomination race, could do well in a few territories, after obtaining a first symbolic victory in the District of Columbia this week.

Starting with the Vermontwhere Donald Trump only obtained 30% of the votes against Joe Biden in 2020. In the Massachusetts and in Virginiashe could do well, even if Donald Trump is the favorite.

865 out of 2,429 delegates must be elected on this “Super Tuesday” on the Republican side where the threshold to be reached is set at 1,215 votes.

1,420 delegates must also be allocated this Tuesday to the Democrats out of the 1,969 required to obtain the nomination.

This is the first result of the night: President Joe Biden easily wins the Democratic primary in Iowa, announced several American media including CBS News.

The former First Lady confirmed that she “will not run” in the presidential election, while some Democratic voters are looking for a replacement for Joe Biden, considered too old.

“Mrs. Obama supports the re-election campaign of President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris,” her communications director Crystal Carson told NBC News.

17 states or territories are voting on this “Super Tuesday”, either for the Democratic primaries or for the Republican primaries or both: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, American Samoa, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Virginia.

American singer Taylor Swift called on her fans to vote during the big day of primaries in which 15 American states participate.

“I wanted to remind you to vote for the people who best represent YOU. If you haven’t, plan to vote today,” the singer wrote on Instagram.

While Americans registered in 15 states are voting today, the final duel is already taking shape with Donald Trump and Joe Biden, two candidates with very distinct economic programs.

Paris Agreement, protectionism, taxation… The subjects on which Joe Biden and Donald Trump oppose are legion.

She, who won her first primary in Washington, risks throwing in the towel after today’s elections. Nikki Haley, the last Republican candidate opposed to Donald Trump for the nomination, is well ahead of the ex-president, who came first in the other primaries.

The former ambassador to the UN, who even lost in the state where she was governor, is going all out on this election day where more than a third of the party’s delegates are at stake.

Good evening everyone and welcome to this live broadcast dedicated to “Super Tuesday” in the United States.

Today is the day when Democratic and Republican primaries are being held in no less than 15 states. An election day in principle decisive but this time which leaves little room for doubt, as the two candidates for the White House already seem to be chosen by their own camp.
