Trump dominates Super Tuesday, Nikki Haley manages to prevent sweep

Trump’s widespread victories hint at lingering dissent within the GOP ranks

In the Super Tuesday primaries, President Donald Trump emerged victorious over his former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley in all states except Vermont, solidifying his grip on the Republican Party’s presidential nomination.  

Across 15 states that held primaries, Trump dominated, positioning himself to secure the majority of delegates.

Despite Haley’s success in Vermont, where she gained 17 delegates, Trump’s widespread victories underscored lingering dissent within the GOP ranks.

Haley’s campaign emphasized the need for genuine unity within the party, highlighting concerns about Trump among a significant portion of Republican voters. 

While Utah’s outcome remains uncertain, Trump’s triumph in most states, including delegate-rich California, propelled his delegate count to 911, far ahead of Haley’s 78.

Although Trump is close to clinching the nomination, Haley’s campaign hinted at a possible path to victory, emphasizing the need to outperform Trump consistently in upcoming contests. 

Trump’s strategic advantage in delegate allocation and Haley’s cautious approach post-Super Tuesday sets the stage for a potentially intense battle leading to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

Despite Haley’s win in Vermont, her subdued response contrasted with Trump’s address from Mar-a-Lago, where he refrained from mentioning her.
