Election News

A rematch of the 2020 presidential election will take another step toward being official on Tuesday. Both Joe Biden and Donald Trump are expected to surpass the delegate threshold needed to clinch their respective party's nomination.

Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington hold presidential primaries. Off the mainland, Republicans will caucus in Hawaii and a week of voting will come to an end for Democrats in the Northern Mariana Islands.

There are also congressional primaries in Mississippi. All Mississippi Results >>

Republicans in American Samoa will caucus on Friday. This is the party's first nominating contest since Nikki Haley withdrew from the race after Super Tuesday.

The event will take place from 11:30 PM Friday to 2:30 AM Saturday Eastern Time. 

Perhaps not wanting to share the spotlight with the other Super Tuesday states, Democrats in Hawaii hold their caucus on Wednesday.

President Biden is on the ballot, as is Rep. Dean Phillips, who ended his campaign today. Also on the ballot is Jason Palmer, fresh off his unexpected win in the American Samoa caucus on Tuesday. There are two other candidates, as well as an Uncommitted line.

Caucus sites are open from 11:00 PM March 6 to 1:00 AM March 7 Eastern Time. 

Super Tuesday has arrived. While it is the busiest day on the presidential nominating calendar, not much is expected in terms of competitive excitement. Joe Biden and Donald Trump should make large strides toward the delegate counts needed to clinch their respective nominations.

The first regular statewide primaries for 2024 are also taking place; candidates will be nominated for a variety of offices for the November 5 general election.

Delegate Counts

Democrats have 1,420 pledged delegates up for grabs, while Republican contests total 865. In each case, that is over 35% of the party's total available across all nominating contests.

Republicans in several states held caucuses or party-run primaries this past weekend. That activity continues Monday - the eve of Super Tuesday - with the North Dakota caucuses. This is structured more like a party-run primary: participants show up at one of 12 sites, vote and leave. 

Caucus sites are open from 6:00 to 9:00 PM Eastern Time. Results are expected around 10:00 PM Eastern.

District of Columbia Republicans are holding a three-day presidential primary. The event began Friday, and will wrap up at 7:00 PM Eastern Time Sunday. The party will release results at some point after that.

Only registered Republicans are eligible to participate. Those are few and far between here, comprising about 5% of the City's electorate. However, the demographics of the group present Nikki Haley with perhaps her best opportunity to defeat Donald Trump in a contest, given the current trajectory of the race.

Republicans in three states will caucus on Saturday.

Heading into these events, Donald Trump has won 122 delegates, while Nikki Haley has earned 24. There could be up to an additional 125 delegates awarded Saturday: 54 in Missouri, 39 in Michigan, and 32 in Idaho. 

You can see the breakdown by state at our Republican Delegate Count Map. 1,215 delegates are needed to win the nomination.

Tuesday is the Michigan primary. Voters do not register by party and are thus free to vote in either primary.

While the outcome - large wins for Joe Biden and Donald Trump - doesn't seem in doubt, there is a bit of drama associated with each party's contest.

Background

Overview

The South Carolina Republican primary is Saturday. Since 1980, with the exception of 2012, the winner of the Republican primary here has gone on to be the party's nominee. That year, Newt Gingrich finished ahead of Mitt Romney.

This is an open primary. Any registered voter that did not vote in the Democratic primary three weeks ago is eligible to participate.

It's a quiet Tuesday on the election front; we're following one contest.
