Delegate Math Heading into Super Tuesday
As the GOP primary heads into the decisive Super Tuesday contests, President Trump leads with 244 delegates. Nikki Haley, who finally won her first race over the weekend with the Washington D.C. primary, trails the former president with 43 delegates. The D.C. primary netted Ms. Haley 19 delegates after she beat President Trump with 62.8 percent of the vote.
Democrats have 1,420 delegates up for grabs on Super Tuesday and 1,928 are required to secure the nomination. However, President Biden is the expected nominee and currently has 206 delegates after winning every contest thus far.

Haley Heads to Super Tuesday With First Win
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley secured her first Republican primary win last night. Her victory in D.C. was not so much of a shocker, but her taking the majority of the votes, and therefore all 19 delegates, was—at least to attendees at the results announcement last night.
When the results were called at about 8:30 p.m. at the Madison Hotel, the small room was silent, then one or two cheered. Someone said, “Really?”
The primary was unique: a D.C. GOP-run three-day event with a single polling location at the Hotel due to the RNC rules and the city’s June primary timeframe.
Ms. Haley invested a lot of resources in D.C.; her team spent three weeks door-knocking and reaching out to the 22,500 registered Republicans in the District, according to Nicole McClure, executive director of the D.C. GOP. Ms. Haley also held a rally at the Madison Hotel on Friday, drawing hundreds.
President Trump’s campaign had no presence at the Hotel.
