Did the world think differently? Nope. We all knew this would be this way. Former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden each dominated their party’s respective primaries on Super Tuesday, moving closer to officially wrapping up the primary season as the two are set for a rematch this upcoming fall.
The Super Tuesday states are the same for both the Democratic Party and Republican Party with two exceptions. The Democratic Party’s Iowa Caucus is tonight, whereas the Republican Party’s Iowa Caucus was in January. And the Republican Party holds it Alaska Caucus tonight whereas the Democratic Party holds its contest in the state next month
Trump reacted to his blowout victories across the country by calling it a “great evening” and saying that it was his “honor to represent not just the Republican Party but our country in leading it back to health and prosperity.”

President Joe Biden has won 812 delegates thus far, with the next closest candidate — Jason Palmer, an unknown candidate who beat Biden by 11 votes in American Samoa, 51 to 40 — having only 3 delegates. No other candidates have any delegates in the Democratic Party primary.
