Just 24 hours before millions of Americans voted in primaries in 16 states and the territory of Samoa, the Supreme Court of Washington yesterday morning submitted a statement in favor of it Donald Trump. In a unanimous decision, both conservative and liberal justices agreed that no state in the union has the right to remove the former president's name from the ballot. The nine justices were responding to an appeal by Trump, who was barred from voting in the states of Colorado and Maine under the 14th Amendment. This constitutional amendment prohibits those who are guilty of insurrection from running for federal office despite having sworn allegiance to the Constitution. The court explained that such a decision could only be made by a vote of Congress and that no individual state could decide whether or not to accept a candidate. Trump hailed the decision as “a great victory for America,” and voters went to the polls and even voted for him in the two states that expelled him.
THE RESULTS
It will take hours, if not days, until the exact result is known Great Tuesday, as the consultations take place in six time zones. But we can already tell you the result: Joe Biden he won for the Democrats and Donald Trump for the Republicans. There is no secret about who will win the party's nomination. Unless there is a catastrophe in one of the two camps, we will see a repeat of the 2020 election in November, Trump versus Biden. But the fact is that both have highlighted serious problems and that public opinion – as various polls show – would prefer not to have to vote for one or the other. For the Republican Party, the challenger's uncertainty became clear on Sunday Nikki Haley he won the primary election for the District of Columbia, i.e. the city of Washington. Haley won 63% of the vote versus 33% for Trump, securing all 19 available delegates and also becoming the first woman to win a Republican presidential primary.
His statement ended Trump's winning streak and confirmed that the former president does not have complete control of the Republican Party. In previous primaries, for example, Haley received 43 percent of the vote in New Hampshire and 40 percent in her home state of South Carolina. These are minorities so large that she can say there is “widespread reluctance” toward Trump.
Nikki is unlikely to win any more primaries today, and it's possible she throws in the towel after this Super Tuesday. But that's not a certainty, because she continues to raise a lot of money, and a group of moderate Republicans has formed around her who are calling on her to stay in the race. Trump, for his part, speaks very poorly of the former UN ambassador, calling her a “birdbrain” and not even sparing her family, a method of attack very popular with his very combative base.
JOE'S OPPONENT
In the Democratic camp, with the polls continuing to favor Joe Biden With a gap of three to four points to Trump, the real challenger is called the “blank ballot”. Following what happened in Michigan, where 100,000 Democrats decided to vote “non-binding” to protest Biden's commitment to Israel, this pro-Palestinian opposition could also appear in Minnesota, despite the administration's toughening in recent days has made statements to the Netanyahu government and has joined the air aid mission for the people of Gaza.
But perhaps more than the results of today's consultations, Thursday night's State of the Union address will determine the rest of Biden's campaign. Even Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have contacted him with advice on how to carry out the appointment, confident that Americans will follow him to judge from his speech, behavior and defiance whether he is capable of serving another four years as to remain president. or whether he is not really weakened by age.
