Former President Donald Trump easily defeated his sole remaining rival for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, in at least 11 of the states voting on Super Tuesday, March 5.
As of 10 p.m. ET, Trump held double-digit leads over Haley in 11 of the 12 states in which polls had closed: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
Haley prevailed in only one of the Super Tuesday states, Vermont, where she edged out Trump by 50% to 46% with 90% of the vote in that state reporting.
Three other states also held primaries or caucuses on Super Tuesday: Utah, California, and Alaska. Returns from those states are expected later in the evening.
