Yesterday, March 5, Super Tuesday took place in the United States, when 15 states held primaries at the same time. According to the voting results, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump won. Therefore, a "historic race" awaits them in the general elections in November.
This is stated in a report by Reuters.
"After a commanding performance across 15 states where more than one-third of Republican delegates were up for grabs on Super Tuesday, Trump had all but clinched his third consecutive presidential nomination, despite facing a litany of criminal charges," the report said.
It is noted that Donald Trump won in many states, including California and Texas, pushing back the candidacy of his only opponent, Nikki Gailey. Her only win of the night thus far came in Vermont, Edison Research projected. She is also known to have made no public appearances on Tuesday and her campaign has not scheduled any future events.

During his victory speech at the Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, Donald Trump focused on Biden's immigration policies and called him the "worst president" in history.
Candidate Trump also emphasized criminal migrants, although he did not provide any statistics to prove it: "Our cities are overrun with migrant crime."
In particular, the majority of Republican voters said they supported the deportation of illegal immigrants. It is therefore understandable why Trump frequently fuels this topic with his attention. If elected, he has promised to launch the largest deportation in US history.
In turn, Joe Biden called Trump a "threat to American democracy," emphasizing the following:
"Tonight's results leave the American people with a clear choice: Are we going to keep moving forward or will we allow Donald Trump to drag us backwards into the chaos, division, and darkness that defined his term in office?"
He won in Minnesota and 14 other states, including the Iowa caucuses, which ended on Tuesday.
It's worth noting that among the expectations was that Biden would make it through the Democratic nomination despite protests in Minnesota organized by activists who disagreed with his position on supporting Israel.
However, this brought unexpectedly strong results. In particular, the number of "uncommitted" votes in Minnesota amounted to almost 20%. This is despite the fact that more than half of the expected votes were counted. The percentage exceeds even that of a similar attempt in Michigan last week.
