Super Tuesday: “The suspense is very relative”, according to journalist Piotr Smolar
Super Tuesday, an election day which sees 15 American states vote in primaries, should confirm the inevitable outcome of the American presidential election: a Trump-Biden duel in November.
This year, “Super Tuesday” may be devoid of suspense. In all likelihood, Donald Trump and Joe Biden should emerge victorious from the most important day of the American primaries. “We all expect that Joe Biden and Donald Trump will obtain the nomination even if it will not be definitive from a mathematical point of view. Experts estimate that it will be necessary to wait until around mid-March for the two candidates reach the number of delegates necessary for the nomination for the conventions”explains Piotr Smolar, correspondent in the United States for The world.
15 states called to vote
This decisive step in the selection of candidates for the presidential election could make Donald Trump the undisputed champion of the Republicans and definitively bury his rival Nikki Haley. Millions of Americans are being called to the polls to choose their Democratic and Republican candidates for the November election. From Maine to California, from Texas to Virginia, from Alaska to Alabama, 15 states and one territory are simultaneously holding their primaries for the November presidential election.
