As the results from three more states are awaited on what is being dubbed as the second 'Super Tuesday,' the focus is on the unfolding events. With Joe Biden already projected to win Georgia by a significant margin, the drama seems to be lacking in the Democratic nomination race. Similarly, it is expected that Donald Trump will secure the Republican nomination by the end of the night.
However, the real intrigue lies in the battleground state of Georgia. With Joe Biden's narrow victory in the state in the previous election, all eyes are on how the primary night unfolds. This presents an opportunity to test new voter contact technologies and strategies, despite the anticipated low turnout due to Biden's expected win.
The key area to watch is the region around Atlanta, particularly Fulton County and its surrounding suburbs. This area played a crucial role in deciding the 2020 presidential election, providing the margin that favored Joe Biden. The performance in this region will be indicative of the state's overall outcome.
In the Republican primary, while Trump is currently leading in the results, attention is drawn to the performance of Nikki Haley, who is garnering a notable percentage of the vote. The focus shifts to counties like Cobb, Gwinnett, and DeKalb to assess Haley's support, especially in the suburbs where Trump has faced challenges in the past.
Despite Trump's clear path to the nomination, the primary night serves as a learning opportunity for both campaigns. While Trump celebrates his victory, the weaknesses in suburban areas highlight areas for improvement. As the campaigns analyze the results, they have ample time to address these issues in preparation for the upcoming general election in November.
