"Super Tuesday" Landslide for Biden and Trump... Entering Rematch Mode in the General Election

Biden Wins Big Outside Samoa
Trump Leads Alone Outside Vermont
"Trump, a Threat to the US"... "Biden, Worst Ever"

There was no upset on 'Super Tuesday,' the turning point in the U.S. presidential primary. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump secured victories. With a rematch virtually confirmed after four years, both candidates have begun sharp attacks against each other and started preparing for the general election.

On the 5th (local time), in the Democratic U.S. presidential primary held in 16 states, President Biden won in all regions except American Samoa.

Former President Trump won in 14 out of 15 states in the Republican primary, losing only in Vermont to former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. Although Trump was initially expected to win Vermont, Haley secured a narrow victory after a close contest.

Earlier, Haley won her first victory in the Washington D.C. Republican primary. However, with Trump winning in moderate-leaning states such as Virginia and Maine, he is seen as confirming his dominant position. According to CNN, including the results of the day, Trump is expected to secure 839 delegates, while Haley is projected to have 66. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) predicted that Trump could secure the majority of delegates (1,215) required to win the primary as early as the 12th or as late as the 19th.

President Biden has secured 1,289 out of 1,291 delegates so far, maintaining a commanding lead. The Democratic primary victory condition is 1,968 delegates.

Having achieved overwhelming victories in both parties' primaries and solidified their positions as presidential candidates, Biden and Trump have begun focusing attacks on each other while preparing for the general election.

President Biden issued a statement saying, "Will we allow Trump to lead us into chaos, division, and darkness as he did during his first term?" He added, "Trump is driven by grievance and greed, focusing on his own revenge rather than the American people."

Biden criticized, "I ran four years ago because of the existential threat Trump posed to America. Trump is determined to destroy American democracy and strip women of their fundamental freedom to make their own healthcare decisions." He also pointed out, "Trump will pass tens of billions of dollars in additional tax cuts for the wealthy and will say or do anything to hold onto power."

Appealing for unity among his supporters, Biden said, "Every generation of Americans faces a moment to defend democracy, individual freedom, voting rights, and civil rights. Now is that moment for every Democrat, Republican, and independent voter who believes in a free and fair America." He added, "This is our fight, and we will win it together."

On the same day, former President Trump took the stage at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida and sharply criticized the Biden administration's economic, border, and foreign policies.

He labeled Biden as "the worst president in American history." Trump emphasized that unlike the current administration, during his tenure, the U.S. did not engage in wars and maintained good relations with all countries, including North Korea. He also claimed that the Biden administration has turned the U.S. into a "laughingstock."

Trump stated that if elected, he would close the border to stop illegal immigration, drill for energy independence, and reduce inflation. He criticized the crime caused by illegal immigrants, calling it "Biden immigrant crime," and said he plans to pay off the national debt and cut taxes.

Trump also made a joke targeting Biden's 'age controversy.' He said, "When Biden goes to the beach, his aides probably think he looks great in a swimsuit, but they will think differently once they see him unable to even pull his feet out of the sand or lift a chair weighing about 9 ounces (approximately 255 grams)."

Urging the consolidation of his core supporters, the 'MAGA' movement, he emphasized, "We will Make America Great Again (MAGA). We will make it greater than ever before."

Meanwhile, unlike his previous victory speeches, Trump did not mention his competitor, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. Instead, he emphasized Republican unity, saying, "We have a great Republican Party with tremendous talent, and we want unity. We will unify, and it will happen very quickly."
