Donald Trump and Joe Biden have each trounced the competition on Super Tuesday. Trump won every contest except Vermont, while Biden won all but American Somoa. With Vermont, Nikki Haley was bolstered by Democrats who voted in the open primary. Jason Palmer defeated Biden in American Somoa by a vote of 51 to 40. Yeah, not a big turnout and basically meaningless except as a funny footnote.
As of today, Nikki has suspended her campaign and Trump is effectively the nominee. Both Trump and Biden should have their nominations officially sewn up by the end of the month. The rematch is coming but now both candidates have presidential records to compare. With illegal immigration as an issue, Trump wins that topic by a wide margin. The economy is trickier since there are positives and negatives to examine from each of their presidencies. With Trump as the nominee, Biden's age becomes less of an issue, though his mental health stays on the table.
Will 2024 be a repeat of Grover Cleveland or William McKinley. Grover Cleveland ran twice against Benjamin Harrison, losing the first time but winning in the rematch. William McKinley defeated William Jennings Bryan in 1896 and beat him again in the 1900 rematch.
