Biden and Trump Win Big, but Haley Takes Vermont
Donald J. Trump tallied victories in Texas, California and 11 other states, although Nikki Haley denied him a full sweep. President Biden cruised, but again faced “uncommitted” protest votes over the war in Gaza.
A big day of voting in March will point the way to November. Here’s the latest.
Donald J. Trump rolled up victories across the country on Super Tuesday, and by the end of the evening it was clear that the former president had left Nikki Haley in the delegate dust.
Mr. Trump’s coast-to-coast wins — in California, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and beyond — brought a new mathematical certainty to what has been the political reality for some time: Mr. Trump is barreling toward the Republican Party’s presidential nomination.
But tucked inside Mr. Trump’s often dominant statewide victories, there were still signs of vulnerability. He showed some of the same weakness in the swingy suburban areas that cost him the White House in 2020.

The exception was Vermont, where Ms. Haley scored her first state victory (she won Washington, D.C., over the weekend). But that was a small island in a sea of Trump landslides in more than a dozen other states, including Alabama, where he was above 80 percent.
There was so little for Ms. Haley to spin on Tuesday that she skipped any public remarks at all, watching returns behind closed doors in Charleston, S.C. An aide said music was blaring and the mood upbeat, suggesting that her campaign had become about delivering a message as much as accumulating delegates.
Even with Ms. Haley still in the race, Mr. Trump has largely campaigned in primary states that also happen to be November battlegrounds. He went to North Carolina last weekend, for instance, ahead of Super Tuesday and is headed to Georgia this coming weekend ahead of its March 12 primary.
On Tuesday, Mr. Trump held a party at Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Florida. (He has spent around $315,000 in campaign funds at Mar-a-Lago since announcing his
