It’s Super Tuesday, and voters are casting their ballots in presidential primaries and caucuses in over a dozen states, awarding over a third of all of the delegates that are available in both the Republican and Democratic nomination primary process. Results will be updated here throughout the evening.
It won’t be mathematically possible yet for former President Donald Trump to amass enough delegates to secure the nomination, but the outcome should provide a clearer sense of whether he’ll continue his dominance over Nikki Haley in the remaining states. Since 1988, when the first major Super Tuesday took place, no Republican has won the presidential nomination without winning the most states on that day.
President Biden won the first contest announced this evening, the Iowa caucuses. Iowa Democrats began voting entirely by mail in mid-January but opted to release the results today to comply with new party rules. The president does not face a serious primary challenger for his reelection bid.
More results began coming in at 7 p.m. ET, when the first polls closed in Virginia and Vermont. Voting locations in most states holding primaries remain open until 7 p.m. local time, though the latest ones close at 8 p.m. local time. Voters who are in line when the polls close will still be able to cast their ballots.
