With Nikki Haley officially out of the 2024 presidential election, a Trump vs. Biden general election rematch is essentially set.

Americans in 16 states (and one US territory) cast their presidential nominating votes on Super Tuesday, March 5, with the only real source of suspense being whether former President Donald Trump would sweep all 15 Republican contests from the former South Carolina governor.

While Haley avoided that sweep with a narrow victory in Vermont, Trump went on to rout his rival in the other 14 races. Hours later, Haley suspended her campaign.

President Biden won the Democratic contests in 15 states — with a surprise loss to a no-name in the American Samoa caucus the only blemish on his record.

The Super Tuesday races award 874 Republican delegates, just over one-third of the total needed to win the nomination: 1,215.

On the Democratic side, 1,420 — also just over a third of the total — are up for grabs. Biden needs 1,968 to lock down the nomination.
