American voters will go to the polls on March 5 in 15 states and one U.S. territory on Election “Super Tuesday,” a crucial date in the U.S. presidential primary calendar that this year is expected to confirm that the November duel for the White House will be between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, reports France Presse.

Traditionally, it is this election day that pushes some candidates to the nomination or, on the contrary, ends the path of others.

In the case of Republicans, March 5 determines more than a third of the delegates needed to nominate the party’s presidential candidate.

With the exception of Sunday’s primary election in Washington, D.C., which was won by Nikki Haley, former President Donald Trump won every state that had already voted in the primary before Super Tuesday. And Tuesday appears to be the last chance for his only remaining competitor, Nikki Haley.

For the Democrats, there is even less doubt, since Joe Biden clearly has to be his party’s nominee. Here is what you should see on this “Super Tuesday”, writes AFP.

Tens of millions of voters

Tens of millions of Americans are called to the polls, from Maine in the far northeast of the United States, to California on the West Coast, passing through Texas in the south and to American Samoa, a small territory in the Pacific Ocean.

Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont and Virginia will also vote.

Previously, candidates had to work hard and continuously in relations with voters, demonstrate the ability to attract funds and special dynamism.

These elections, held across much of the country, have traditionally been an opportunity for candidates to demonstrate their ability – or lack thereof – to mobilize voters of widely varying profiles and geographic origins.

Not surprising?

Joe Biden has no serious competitors in the race for the nomination, which is normal for an incumbent president.

What is less common is that Donald Trump, as a former president trying to return to the White House, has so far crushed his opponents in the Republican Party.

On Tuesday, 874 of the 2,429 delegates will be elected at the July convention, which will determine the Republican presidential nominee. They can give him an almost insurmountable advantage already in March. His campaign team predicts he will win 773 delegates on Super Tuesday and have a mathematical winner in more than two weeks.

Nikki Haley is still competing

The only person standing in the way of the septuagenarian is former South Carolina governor Ms. Haley, who says the 40 percent of the vote she received in her home state of New Hampshire shows the Republican Party is still divided over Donald Trump.

She also argues that her chances of beating Joe Biden in November, when no one wants a seven-and-eight-year matchup, would be much better than Trump’s.

A former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under Donald Trump, she has vowed in the past to remain a candidate in the Republican primary until at least the Super Tuesday election.

Analysts say she has been in the race for so long largely in the hope that Donald Trump will not be able to run in November because of his legal problems or potential health problems.
