The former president and ex-South Carolina governor will compete in more than a dozen states on March 5.
Donald Trump and Nikki Haley are set to compete in the busiest day of the primary season, with more than a dozen states holding races on Super Tuesday to decide on the next Republican presidential nominee.
Trump has already cemented his position as the clear favorite to clinch the 2024 GOP nomination, following resounding victories in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada and Michigan.
Haley, a former U.N. ambassador in the Trump administration, has dismissed calls that she should drop out the race after failing to win any of the previous primary elections, including in her home state of South Carolina. She said her campaign is focusing on Super Tuesday.
As with the previous primary races, Trump is the overwhelming favorite to win all the states on March 5, with the former president recording substantial double-digit leads in the polls. FiveThirtyEight’s national polling average tracker shows that Trump heads into Tuesday’s with a 61-point lead over Haley (76.8 percent to 15 percent.)
In the most-recent serious poll, which was released ahead of the South Carolina primary, Trump got the support of nearly nine out of 10 Republican voters in Alabama, beating Haley by 75 points (87 to 12 percent).
An Emerson College Polling/Inside California Politics/The Hill California poll released late February shows Trump leading the GOP in the state’s primary by 75 percent to Haley’s 17.
