According to the Fox News Decision Desk, Trump has clinched victories in North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Oklahoma, Maine, Massachusetts, and Arkansas. Addressing his supporters at Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump declared, “There’s never been anything so conclusive.”
In an exclusive interview with Fox News, Trump hailed the evening as “great,” signaling a clear path forward in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
While Trump’s triumphs won’t secure the nomination outright, he is set to capture the majority of the 854 Republican delegates at stake, putting him in a commanding position against his sole remaining rival, Nikki Haley.

“If every single conservative, Republican and Trump supporter in these states shows up on Super Tuesday, we will be very close to finished with this primary contest,” Trump said over the weekend. “Republicans will then be able to focus all of our energy, time and resources on defeating crooked Joe Biden.”
Haley did manage to secure a win in Vermont, albeit narrowly, positioning herself as the lone challenger to Trump’s dominance.
Trump’s strong showing paves the way for a potential general election rematch with President Biden, whom he’s eager to challenge despite poor polling.
With Biden sweeping the Super Tuesday Democratic nominating contests, except for a setback in American Samoa, the stage is set for a fierce showdown between the two titans.
Trump’s campaign predicts his inevitable nomination by mid-March, buoyed by anticipated wins in upcoming primaries, including delegate-rich states like Georgia, Florida, Illinois, and Ohio.
Despite Trump’s commanding lead, Haley remains steadfast in her bid for the nomination, buoyed by recent victories and endorsements from some semi-prominent figures. She maintains that she’s fighting for a voice for those dissatisfied with the status quo.
