The largest vote in the primary process of the presidential election in the United States will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, March 5. On this day, voters in 15 states will participate in the selection of candidates for the Democratic and Republican parties. The day is known as 'Super Tuesday' in the US political calendar.
President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are expected to win more victories in the primaries and face each other in the November national election.
In the primaries, supporters of the two major parties elect declared delegates for the candidates. Delegates vote at the two parties' national conventions in the summer to nominate candidates.
Biden defeated Trump in 2020. As a result, he faces only token competition in the Democratic Party's 'Super Tuesday' primary. But some recent national opinion polls still show Biden trailing Trump by a few points. Biden has fallen behind in several key states. The fate of the presidential election in these states can be determined.
On Saturday, Trump won more delegates in the Republican states of Michigan, Idaho and Missouri. They will vote on candidate selection at the party's national convention.
Trump is expected to consolidate his lead over his only challenger, Nikki Haley, on Tuesday. Haley was previously the United States ambassador to the United Nations and the governor of the state of South Carolina.
91 charges against Trump
Trump is facing trial in four criminal cases, in which he is charged with a total of 91 counts. He is the first president or former president to be criminally indicted.
The first trial is scheduled to begin in three weeks. He was accused of trying to hide the fact that he had paid a sex worker to keep information secret before the 2016 elections.
But Trump has yet to lose a state primary to Haley. Lately, Trump has almost completely ignored Haley's challenge and focused on Biden.
At a rally in Virginia on Saturday, Trump called a victory in Tuesday's primary that, he said, would be "so big a landslide that it can't be rigged," and that would send a "message" to Biden.
“You know, they have a point. They say, 'Donald Trump is a threat to democracy.' An ad agency wrote the line," Trump said. 'I'm not a threat. I'm the guy who's ending the threat to democracy.'
'The country has gone to the abyss'
Trump resumed his attack on Biden just days after Trump and Biden visited the US-Mexico border to lay out their plans to curb immigration. Trump ignored Biden's call to pass tougher immigration control legislation proposed by a joint Senate group.
He said, 'It must be admitted: the country has gone into the abyss.' "15 to 16 million people have gone in, and they've come from jails and prisons," he said. They came from mental hospitals and insane asylums. They are terrorists. They are drug dealers. Our country is really changing.'
"We have to stop it," he said. With your help, we'll win big on Super Tuesday.' He said, 'And this November, Virginia Crooked will tell Joe Biden, your job is done. You are fired! Get out of here! Get out of the White House.'
Haley is worried about Trump
Nikki Haley said Sunday on NBC News' "Meet the Press" after losing to Trump in the party's primaries and caucuses, and despite fears of more losses Tuesday, that she has no intention of withdrawing from the race.
"As long as we're competitive, as long as we can show that we have a place here, I'll keep fighting," he said.
Haley once signed a pledge to support whoever the Republican Party nominates for president. But if Trump is nominated, he did not say anything clear about whether he would keep that promise or not.
He said, 'I think, I will take the decision that I want to take.' He said, 'I have always said, I have serious concerns about Donald Trump. I have more concerns about Joe Biden.'
