Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> locked up the Republican presidential nod on Tuesday after winning four more primaries, giving him enough delegates to become the presumptive nominee. 
Trump’s primary victories in Georgia, Mississippi, Hawaii, and Washington pushed him to 1,241 delegates, more than the 1,215 needed to earn the nomination. President Joe Biden also locked up the Democratic nomination, setting up a rematch for the 2024 presidential race. 
In a statement on Truth Social, Trump said it was an &#8220;honor&#8221; to be representing the GOP and attacked Biden over the border crisis, inflation, and economy. 
“It is my great honor to be representing the Republican Party as its Presidential Nominee. Our Party is UNITED and STRONG, and fully understands that we are running against the Worst, Most Incompetent, Corrupt, and Destructive President in the History of the United States,” Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112086325351192822" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a>. “Millions of people are invading our Country, many from prisons and mental institutions of other Countries. High Interest Rates and Inflation are choking our great middle class, and ALL, our Economy is bad, and our Stock Market is rising only because Polls are strongly indicating that we will WIN the Presidential Election of 2024.”
“We are now, under Crooked Joe Biden, a Third World Nation, which uses the Injustice System to go after his political opponent, ME! But fear not, we will not fail, we will take back our once great Country, put AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN &#8211; GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE. November 5th will go down as the most important day in the history of our Country! GOD BLESS AMERICA,” Trump added. 
Trump won Georgia by 71 points, Hawaii by 95, Mississippi by 87, and Washington by 52. The former president has so far won every Republican nominating contest except Washington, D.C., and Vermont, both of which were won by former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.

“It’s your favorite president speaking to you on a really great day of victory,” Trump said in a video posted by his campaign on X. “The Republican National Committee has just declared us the official nominee and so we’re the official nominee of the Republican party, which is a big deal. But most importantly we now have to go on to victory because our country is in serious trouble. We have millions and millions of people flowing in. We have no respect on the world’s stage.”

Trump 2024

Rep. Dean Phillips, the Democrat from Minnesota who challenged President Joe Biden in the party&#8217;s 2024 primary, ended his longshot attempt to win the nomination and endorsed Biden on Wednesday.
Phillips, 55, jumped into the race last October, arguing that 81-year-old Biden is a vulnerable incumbent candidate because of his age and saying it&#8217;s time for the party&#8217;s leader to &#8220;pass the torch.&#8221; Following dismal performances in Democratic primaries across the country, including a third-place finish behind Biden and &#8220;uncommitted&#8221; in his home state on Super Tuesday, Phillips announced he would suspend his campaign and get behind the president.
&#8220;I&#8217;m going to suspend my campaign and I will be, right now, endorsing President Biden because the choices are so clear,&#8221; Phillips said during an interview on a Minnesota radio show, according to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/dean-phillips-ends-presidential-campaign-rcna142091" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a>.
In the Minnesota Democratic presidential primary on Tuesday, Biden won 70% of the vote, while &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nearly-20-of-minnesota-democratic-primary-voters-pick-uncommitted-over-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">uncommitted</a>&#8221; came in second place with nearly 20%, and Phillips finished in third with just 7.8%.
“Congratulations to Joe Biden, Uncommitted, Marianne Williamson, and Nikki Haley for demonstrating more appeal to Democratic Party loyalists than me,” Phillips posted on Tuesday night.
When he launched his campaign, the Democratic congressman warned about his party&#8217;s impending &#8220;emergency&#8221; in November if Biden remained the Democratic nominee.
“I will not sit still, I will not be quiet in the face of numbers that are so clearly saying we’re going to be facing an emergency next November,” Phillips told CBS News. He later added in an interview with NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; that &#8220;if this election was held today, President Biden would lose, and it is an existential threat to the future of the United States of America.&#8221;
When he announced his presidential campaign, Phillips admitted that the middle class was struggling under Biden&#8217;s watch.
“We have to make life more affordable for the middle class, which is the issue that voters care about most. We need to bring down the cost of living and make life affordable again,” he said. “As part of making life more affordable, we have to celebrate success. America should be the most prosperous country in the world, and we need to be both pro-business and pro-worker to get there.”
In a post on X on Wednesday, Phillips praised Biden&#8217;s &#8220;empathy and kindness&#8221; — sharing a photo of the then-vice president sitting next to Phillips&#8217; two young daughters — and said that Democrats must &#8220;resist Donald Trump again.&#8221;

&#8220;I ran for Congress in 2018 to resist Donald Trump, I was trapped in the Capitol in 2021 because of Donald Trump, and I ran for President in 2024 to resist Donald Trump again &#8211; because Americans were demanding an alternative, and democracy demands options,&#8221; the congressman wrote. &#8220;But it is clear that alternative is not me. And it is clear that Joe Biden is OUR candidate and OUR opportunity to demonstrate what type of country America is and intends to be.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
In 2011, I hosted then VP Biden at my home. Most notable was his empathy and kindness to my daughters and the catering staff, with whom he sat and had ice cream (surprise-surprise). His decency and wisdom were rarities in politics then, and even more so today.

Dem Who Warned Of ‘Emergency’ If Biden Is Party’s Nominee Suspends Presidential Campaign, Endorses Biden

Dem Who Warned Of 'Emergency' If Biden Is Party's Nominee Suspends Presidential Campaign, Endorses Biden

Democrats

A week after over 100,000 Democratic voters declined to cast a ballot for President Joe Biden in the Michigan primary, more than 45,000 Minnesota Democrats — nearly 20% of those who participated in the party&#8217;s Minnesota primary election on Super Tuesday — voted “uncommitted.”
With an estimated 80% of the vote counted as of Wednesday afternoon, Biden won the Minnesota Democratic primary with just over 70% of the vote, but his margin of victory was inhibited by 19% of Democrats who participated in the election voting “uncommitted,” according to <a href="https://elections2024.thehill.com/primaries/minnesota/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Decision Desk HQ</a>. Rep. Dean Phillips, a Democrat who represents Minnesota’s 3rd District, came in third behind Biden and “uncommitted” with 7.8%.
“Congratulations to Joe Biden, Uncommitted, Marianne Williamson, and Nikki Haley for demonstrating more appeal to Democratic Party loyalists than me,” Phillips <a href="https://twitter.com/deanbphillips/status/1765191271881064563?s=20">posted</a> on X on Tuesday night before suspending his campaign and endorsing Biden on Wednesday.
Like the results in Michigan a week ago, Biden’s hampered victory in Minnesota indicates a potential issue for Democrats heading into the general election as Muslim voters, a demographic that votes predominantly blue, have voiced frustration with the Biden administration’s support for Israel. Both Michigan and Minnesota have large Muslim populations, and far-Left activists have <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4507521-biden-wins-minnesota-democratic-primary/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">encouraged</a> voters to protest Biden’s stance on the Israel-Hamas war by voting “uncommitted.”
Both Minnesota and Michigan could be crucial for the president to hold onto in the 2024 election after his victories in both states helped propel him to a win in 2020 over former President Donald Trump. Biden won Minnesota by a safe margin in 2020, taking 52.4% of the vote to Trump’s 45.3%, while his win in Michigan was much closer, topping Trump by less than three percentage points.
A significant number of Democratic voters in other states also refused to support the president on Tuesday, with 88,000 Democrats—12.7% of those who went to the polls—voting “no preference” in <a href="https://elections2024.thehill.com/primaries/north-carolina/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">North Carolina</a> and 9.3% voting “no preference” in <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4510677-biden-wins-massachusetts-democratic-primary/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Massachusetts</a>.

Besides Biden’s issues with Muslim voters, the 81-year-old president is also trying to assure voters he has the stamina for another general election campaign and four more years in office. Last month, Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-calls-on-biden-to-take-cognitive-test-says-it-should-be-mandatory-for-all-presidents-or-people-wanting-to-become-president" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> on Biden to take a cognitive test, just hours after the commander-in-chief’s doctor said he was “fit to serve” following his annual physical exam.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) named former President Donald Trump the presumptive GOP nominee for president on Wednesday.
The RNC put out a <a href="https://gop.com/press-release/rnc-statement-congratulating-president-donald-trump-on-becoming-the-presumptive-nominee/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> calling Trump the winner of the primary shortly after former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley suspended her presidential campaign on Wednesday morning. Haley bowed out after a string of Super Tuesday losses that saw Trump make big gains in the delegate count ahead of the Republican convention.
“Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump on his huge primary victory! I’d also like to congratulate Nikki Haley for running a hard-fought campaign and becoming the first woman to win a Republican presidential primary contest,” RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement.
“President Trump once delivered a booming economy, secure border, energy independence, and America’s strength on the world stage, the exact opposite of the chaos created by Joe Biden,” she added. “Republican voters have spoken loud and clear with historically large margins and we are more united than ever to beat Biden and Democrats up and down the ballot in November.”
McDaniel has headed the RNC since 2017 and enjoyed support from Trump in that position until recently. Under <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/06/us/politics/trump-ronna-mcdaniel-rnc.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pressure</a> from the former president, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/02/26/1233867070/rnc-chair-ronna-mcdaniel-resigns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the chairwoman announced</a> last week that she plans to step down this month. She is expected to leave her post on Friday, March 8.
McDaniel elicited anger from other members of her party when, in January, she urged Republicans to &#8220;unite&#8221; around Trump while other contenders were still vying for the GOP nomination.
Trump’s sweep of Super Tuesday states broke in Vermont, where Haley won the contest by roughly 4 points. It was Haley’s second primary victory of the cycle after she won in Washington, D.C., over the weekend.
Haley declined to speak after her lone Super Tuesday victory. Instead, her campaign released a statement touting Haley’s victory as a woman and warning of a “large block of Republican primary voters who are expressing deep concerns about Donald Trump.” Haley appeared on Wednesday morning to officially suspend her campaign. She did not endorse Trump.
Trump put out a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112049357098381588" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> on his social media platform, Truth Social, claiming victory over Haley on Super Tuesday and inviting her supporters to back him.

“Nikki Haley got TROUNCED last night, in record setting fashion, despite the fact that Democrats, for reasons unknown, are allowed to vote in Vermont, and various other Republican Primaries,” Trump said.
“I’d like to thank my family, friends, and the Great Republican Party for helping me to produce, by far, the most successful Super Tuesday in HISTORY, and would further like to invite all of the Haley supporters to join the greatest movement in the history of our Nation. BIDEN IS THE ENEMY, HE IS DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” he wrote.

RNC Congratulates Trump On Winning GOP Primary After Haley Bows Out

Former South Carolina Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nikki-haley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikki Haley</a> will drop out of the Republican presidential nomination race on Wednesday after only picking up one state on Super Tuesday as former President Donald Trump dominated at the polls, according to multiple reports. 
Sources close to Haley told multiple <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/03/06/nikki-haley-suspends-campaign-2024-presidential" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outlets</a> that she would drop out of the race after just winning one of 15 contests on Tuesday. Haley was the last major challenger to Trump and has been critical of him throughout her campaign. She managed to defeat him in Vermont, but lost by wide margins in the other states that voted. 
“Today, in state after state, there remains a large block of Republican primary voters who are expressing deep concerns about Donald Trump,” spokeswoman Olivia Perez-Cubas <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/nikki-haley-drops-out-2024-presidential-election-625277ca" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Tuesday. “That is not the unity our party needs for success.”
During her campaign, Haley picked up wins in the District of Columbia and Vermont, but failed to build momentum in other states, taking third in Iowa and losing by over ten points in New Hampshire after the rest of the field had dropped out. Last month, she was unable to win in her home state of South Carolina, where she is expected to announce the suspension of her campaign. 
The Koch network&#8217;s Americans for Prosperity <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/koch-network-pulls-funding-from-nikki-haley-after-4th-straight-loss" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dropped funding</a> for Haley after her fourth primary loss.
While initially promising to back the Republican party’s nominee last year, she has recently been hesitant to confirm whether she plans on endorsing Trump if he takes the nomination. Sources told the Wall Street Journal that she will not make an endorsement on Wednesday. 
 “What I will tell you is that I have serious concerns about Donald Trump. I have more serious concerns about Joe Biden,” she said in February. 
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
During the Trump administration, Haley was his ambassador to the United Nations for several years. She has since been critical of him and claimed that he will be unable to beat President Joe Biden in November. She also has been vocal about Trump’s legal battles as he faces dozens of charges in multiple states. 
“This may be his survival mode to pay his legal fees and get out of some sort of legal peril, but this is like suicide for our country,” she said. “We’ve got to realize that if we don’t have someone who can win a general election, all we are doing is caving to the socialist left.”
Trump performed strongly on Tuesday, picking up wins across the South and earning victories in states like California, Minnesota, and Maine. Ahead of an expected rematch with Biden in November, he has taken the lead in polling in key swing states.

Nikki Haley To Drop Out Of Republican Presidential Race After Super Tuesday Losses

Former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden each dominated their party&#8217;s respective primaries on Super Tuesday, moving closer to officially wrapping up the primary season as the two are set for a rematch this upcoming fall.
The Super Tuesday states are the same for both the Democratic Party and Republican Party with two exceptions. The Democratic Party&#8217;s Iowa Caucus is tonight, whereas the Republican Party&#8217;s Iowa Caucus was in January. And the Republican Party holds it Alaska Caucus tonight whereas the Democratic Party holds its contest in the state next month.
Trump reacted to his blowout victories across the country by calling it a &#8220;great evening&#8221; and saying that it was his &#8220;honor to represent not just the Republican Party but our country in leading it back to health and prosperity.&#8221;

President Joe Biden has won 812 delegates thus far, with the next closest candidate — Jason Palmer, an unknown candidate who beat Biden by 11 votes in American Samoa, 51 to 40 — having only 3 delegates. No other candidates have any delegates in the Democratic Party primary.

Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump Holds Campaign Rally In Rock Hill, South Carolina

Full Results: Trump, Biden Dominate Super Tuesday Races

As voters head to the polls on Tuesday to choose their preference in the Democratic and Republican presidential primaries, many Americans will also vote in important down-ballot races.
Super Tuesday primary elections will be <a href="https://www.npr.org/live-updates/super-tuesday-2024-states-results" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held</a> in 16 states and one U.S. territory as President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump move closer to their respective parties’ nominations. Other races in multiple states will likely have major implications for the battle over control of Congress.
Here are some down-ballot races to keep an eye on as the results start pouring in on Tuesday evening:
<h3>California Senate Primary</h3>
Numerous Democrats and Republicans are running for the seat of the late Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sen-dianne-feinstein-dies-at-90" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dianne Feinstein</a> (D-CA), who died in September. Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff, Katie Porter, Barbara Lee, and former MLB player Steve Garvey, a Republican, are expected to be in a tight race for the top two spots.
California holds a nonpartisan primary election for the Senate, in which the two candidates with the most votes — regardless of party affiliation — will move on to face each other head-to-head in the general election in November. Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-CA), a labor leader and activist whom Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom appointed to fill the Senate seat following Feinstein’s death, <a href="https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2023-10-19/laphonza-butler-senate-race-2024-schiff-porter-lee-feinstein-garvey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in October that she would not run to hold onto the seat.
According to <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/senate/2024/california/top-two-primary/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FiveThirtyEight’s average</a> of polls on the Senate primary in California, Schiff leads the pack at 25.5%, with Garvey coming in second at 20.4% and Porter in third at 18.4%. Lee remains farther behind in the polls, coming in at 9.1%.
<h3>Texas Democratic Senate Primary</h3>
Democrats in Texas will head to the polls on Tuesday to choose their nominee to run against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for the seat the conservative senator has held since 2013. Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX), a former NFL player who has been serving in Congress since 2019, and Democratic state Sen. Roland Gutierrez are the favorites in a crowded field to win the party’s nomination.
Democrats have put a lot of attention on Texas in Cruz’s past two re-election campaigns, hoping to steal a Senate seat in the red state. In 2018, Democratic candidate Beto O’Rourke <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/texas-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lost</a> to Cruz by more than 200,000 votes. No Democrat has won an election for statewide office in Texas in 30 years, according to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/texas-senate-race-2024-allred-cruz-a0a1b4a21feb99593d72cf4a2cf7f7aa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a>.

Allred has outraised his Democratic opponents in the race, raking in more than $21 million during his campaign for the Senate, the AP reported. Gutierrez, meanwhile, has criticized Allred for joining 14 other Democrats in backing a GOP-led resolution condemning Biden for his handling of the border crisis.
The <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/senate/2024/texas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most recent polls</a> on the Democratic primary in Texas show Allred leading Gutierrez by double digits, with one poll showing the former Tennessee Titans player ahead by 38 points. If one candidate doesn’t get a majority of votes in the primary, the top two candidates will head to a runoff election on May 28.
<h3>Texas GOP House Primary</h3>
Another Texas race, this one for a U.S. House seat, could be a close contest as 11 Republicans look to move on to the general election. Brandon Gill, the son-in-law of conservative documentary filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza, is endorsed by both Trump and Cruz. He is <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2024/02/14/texas-congressional-district-26-2024-republican-primary-brandon-gill/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">considered</a> the frontrunner in the race with John Huffman, the mayor of Southlake, Texas, being his most prominent challenger.
The Republican candidates are looking to win the seat of outgoing Rep. Michael Burgess, who announced in November that he would retire at the end of his current term. A candidate must get more than 50% of the vote to win the primary. The top two candidates will move on to a runoff in May if no candidate reaches the majority threshold.
<h3>Alabama GOP House Primary</h3>
A primary in the red state of Alabama is pitting two incumbent Republicans against each other after the state redistricted. Reps. Jerry Carl and Barry Moore, both second-term congressmen, must now fight for the 1st District seat.
Moore is backed by House Freedom Action, a group tied to the conservative House Freedom Caucus, of which Moore is a member. Since Alabama’s 1st District is safely Republican, the winner of Tuesday’s primary is expected to win the general election in November easily. A recent <a href="https://www.aum.edu/aum-poll-examines-gop-primary-race-for-alabamas-first-congressional-district/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll</a> from the University of Auburn Montgomery shows Carl leading Moore 43% to 35%.
<h3>North Carolina Gubernatorial Primaries</h3>
Both Republicans and Democrats will vote for a nominee in the North Carolina gubernatorial primaries on Tuesday. Democratic Governor Roy Cooper is term-limited after this year, serving in the governor’s mansion since 2017.
On the GOP side, Trump-endorsed candidate Mark Robinson, who is currently the state’s lieutenant governor, is facing two other Republican candidates, Bill Graham and Dale Folwell. For Democrats, state Attorney General Josh Stein is widely expected to win the party’s primary as he looks to fend off four challengers.
The general election for North Carolina governor is expected to be competitive and expensive. According to <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/governor/2024/north-carolina/general/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">polling</a>, Robinson and Stein are neck-and-neck in a potential general election matchup.

Votes cast for former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> in Maine&#8217;s primary on Super Tuesday will be counted after the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/supreme-court" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Supreme Court</a> ruled states cannot remove him from the ballot using Section 3 of the <a href="https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/amendment-14/section-3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">14th Amendment</a>.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/maine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maine</a> Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat, withdrew the ban on Trump in a <a href="https://www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/2024-03-04-Modified-ruling-of-the-ME-Secretary-of-State-1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">modified ruling</a> that took into consideration the high court&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-rules-trump-cant-be-kicked-off-colorado-ballot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decision</a> on Monday in a case from Colorado called Trump v. Anderson.
&#8220;The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that individual states lack authority to enforce Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment with respect to federal offices,&#8221; Bellows said.
&#8220;Consistent with my oath and obligation to follow the law and the Constitution, and pursuant to the Anderson decision, I hereby withdraw my determination that Mr. Trump’s primary petition is invalid,&#8221; she added.
In December, Maine became the second state to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/maine-kicks-trump-off-2024-primary-ballot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disqualify</a> Trump from the ballot following Colorado over the view that he violated the <a href="https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/amendment-14/section-3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">14th Amendment&#8217;s</a> insurrection clause due to his conduct leading up to the U.S. Capitol breach on January 6, 2021.
Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-biased-decision-maker-trump-appeals-dem-officials-ruling-to-kick-him-off-maine-ballot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appealed</a> the decision to the Maine Superior Court. His lawyers argued Bellows was biased and made a decision based on &#8220;untrustworthy evidence.&#8221; A judge put the decision <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/maine-judge-delays-trump-ballot-decision" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on hold</a> until the Supreme Court ruled, and the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-remains-on-ballot-in-maine-pending-scotus-decision-after-states-top-court-declines-appeal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">state&#8217;s top court declined</a> to get involved before that happened.
The Supreme Court decision was timely for Trump, as Colorado and Maine have their GOP primaries scheduled on Super Tuesday. Illinois, a third state in which a decision to bar Trump from the ballot had been reversed, has its GOP primary set for March 19.
Trump is spearheading another presidential campaign this year. He is currently the GOP frontrunner with <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/us/elections/republican-primary-delegates-tracker-calendar.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">273 delegates</a> over Nikki Haley&#8217;s 43 delegates. If he secures the nomination, Trump could face President Joe Biden in a 2020 rematch in the general election.

But as he runs again for the White House, Trump faces a bevy of criminal cases, some of which are tied to January 6, as well as civil litigation. Trump has broadly denied any wrongdoing.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/supreme-court" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Supreme Court</a> announced last week that it was taking up the issue of whether <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trump</a> can invoke presidential immunity to shield himself from federal prosecution in a 2020 election case brought by special counsel Jack Smith.

Maine Official Withdraws Trump Ballot Ban

Maine

Supreme Court

Former President Donald Trump dominated the North Dakota Republican Caucus on Monday as he continues to inch closer to officially securing the party&#8217;s presidential nomination.
The Associated Press called the race with roughly 38% of the votes counted as Trump led former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley 84.4% to 14.6%.
Candidates are eligible to win delegates if they finish with at least 20% of the vote. However, if a candidate wins at least 60% of the vote then that candidate collects all of the state&#8217;s 29 delegates.
The win, assuming Trump stays over 60%, will put the former president at 273 delegates while Haley lags far behind with only 43 delegates. Haley secured her first and only win of the GOP nomination process over the weekend when she won Washington, D.C.
Trump on the other hand has had blowout victories in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho, Michigan, and Missouri.
The former president is heavily favored in the Super Tuesday states that vote tomorrow, which include Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia.
Assuming that things continue to go his way, the earliest Trump could wrap up the primary is on March 12 when Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi, and Washington hold their contests.

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> filed an appeal to overturn a Democrat judge’s decision to remove him from the presidential ballot in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/illinois" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Illinois</a>.
The appeal was filed after Judge Tracie R. Porter of the State Circuit Court in Cook County <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-judge-removes-trump-from-illinois-presidential-ballot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruled</a> that the State Board of Elections should remove Trump from the ballot, claiming that he engaged in insurrection on January 6. Trump’s appeal asked the appeals court to &#8220;reverse and vacate the judgement,” <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/02/29/trump-removed-illinois-ballot-14th-amendment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to Axios. 
In a separate legal filing, lawyers for Trump asked the court to block the order to remove him off the ballot until the appeals court had ruled and extend the stay on the decision. 
“Staying this judgment until the Illinois appellate courts finally decide this case would reduce the great risk of voter confusion and logistical difficulties for election officials,” the filing <a href="https://twitter.com/SeidelContent/status/1763221053080236511" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Finally, Candidate notes the need for a very speedy decision on this motion. The Court&#8217;s current stay could be interpreted to expire, not withstanding the pending appeal, less than 48 hours from now.&#8221; 
In response to Trump’s filing, Porter stayed the decision to remove Trump off the ballot as the case continues through the court system. 
Porter wrote that her order “is stayed (and the Illinois State Board of Elections shall continue to include Candidate Donald J. Trump on the ballot for the March 19, 2024  General Primary Election) until the appeal is fully and finally resolved by the Illinois Appellate Court, First District, Illinois Supreme Court, and/or the U.S. Supreme Court.”

“The Soros-funded Democrat front-groups continue to attempt to interfere in the election and deny President Trump his rightful place on the ballot,” a spokesperson for the Trump Campaign said in a statement. “Today, an activist Democrat judge in Illinois summarily overruled the state’s board of elections and contradicted earlier decisions from dozens of other state and federal jurisdictions. This is an unconstitutional ruling that we will quickly appeal. In the meantime, President Trump remains on the Illinois ballot, is dominating the polls, and will Make America Great Again!”
Trump has now been kicked off the ballot in three states including Colorado, Maine, and Illinois. Earlier this year, the Supreme Court heard arguments about Colorado&#8217;s decision to remove Trump from the ballot. For now, the former president is still on the ballot in Colorado pending the Supreme Court’s decision, which will also expected impact Maine&#8217;s decision.

Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer said she expects many voters to check the “uncommitted” box in her party’s presidential primary on Tuesday.
Whitmer appeared on <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/gov-whitmer-anticipates-a-sizable-number-of-uncommitted-votes-in-mi-primary-205013061539?cid=sm_npd_ms_tw_mj" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”</a> as Michigan voters headed to the polls to select their preference for the Democratic presidential nominee. While President Joe Biden is expected to be the clear winner over Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) in the Democratic contest, his numbers will likely be hampered as the state’s large Muslim population has expressed frustration with Biden’s handling of the war between Israel and Hamas. Michigan is home to around 200,000 Muslim voters, a demographic that largely <a href="https://apnews.com/article/votecast-trump-wins-white-evangelicals-d0cb249ea7eae29187a21a702dc84706" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supports Democrats</a>.
The Michigan governor, who is also a co-chair of the Biden-Harris re-election campaign, began her segment by emphasizing the importance of the swing state’s diverse voter base, adding that the 2024 election would be close in Michigan.
“Today, I anticipate that we will see a sizable number of people vote uncommitted,” Whitmer said. “As we know, our huge Arab, Palestinian, and Muslim communities are going to voice some of their opinions with regard to how we’re handling what’s happening over in Gaza and Israel.”
“We also have a robust Jewish community here, and these are two very important communities that have lived in harmony in this state for decades,” she added. “And there’s a lot of people who are hurting.”
Earlier this month, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) — a Muslim who was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-house-votes-to-censure-democrat-rashida-tlaib-for-supporting-genocide-of-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">censured</a> by the U.S. House for her anti-Semitic comments — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tlaib-calls-for-protest-vote-against-biden-over-israel-hamas-war" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> for her constituents to “vote uncommitted” as a way to protest Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war.
“We don’t want a country that supports wars and bombs and destruction. We want to support life. We want to stand up for every single life killed in Gaza,” Tlaib said.
“This is the way you can raise our voices, to make us even more visible,” she added later. “Right now, we feel completely neglected and just unseen by our government. If you want us to be louder, then come here and vote uncommitted.”

Whitmer’s admission that she expects Muslim voters to heed Tlaib&#8217;s call comes after the governor encouraged Democrats in Michigan to back the president, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/27/biden-faces-anger-from-key-arab-american-voters-in-michigan-primary-.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arguing</a> that “any vote that’s not cast for Joe Biden supports a second Trump term.”
Trump currently leads the president in polling in the swing state by five points, according to the RealClearPolitics <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/michigan/trump-vs-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">polling average.</a> Biden <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/03/us/elections/results-michigan.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">took Michigan</a> in 2020, coming in 154,000 votes ahead of Trump, who <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2016/results/michigan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won</a> the state over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton by just over 10,000 votes in 2016.

Americans For Prosperity Action, a large conservative group supporting former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley&#8217;s bid for president, has announced that it will no longer spend money to help her following her fourth straight loss.
The move by the Koch network comes after Haley lost by 20 points to former President Donald Trump last weekend.
The group endorsed Haley in late November ahead of the Iowa caucuses, which gave Haley a boost in the state and helped weaken the top alternative to Trump: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Americans For Prosperity Action CEO Emily Seidel <a href="https://afpaction.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/AFPA-3-Ways-to-Win-2.25.24.pdf">said</a> in an email on Sunday, &#8220;Haley has shown us again and again that we made the right decision in supporting her candidacy and she continues to have our strong endorsement.&#8221;
Yet Seidel acknowledged that &#8220;given the challenges in the primary states ahead, we don’t believe any outside group can make a material difference to widen her path to victory.&#8221;
&#8220;And so while we will continue to endorse her, we will focus our resources where we can make the difference,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And that’s the U.S. Senate and House.&#8221;

&#8220;If Donald Trump is at the top of the Republican ticket, the risk of one-party rule by a Democratic Party captured by the Progressive Left is severe and would do irreparable damage to the country,&#8221; the letter concluded. &#8220;The last 3 election cycles have painted a very clear picture of what we can expect from voters who consistently rejected Donald Trump and his impact on the Republican party brand. This has been reinforced by the recent elections in Virginia in 2023 and the special elections in New York and Pennsylvania just this month. And we should expect this to increase further as the criminal trials progress.&#8221;
