Super Tuesday preview
Whether you're expecting it to crown Donald Trump as the Republican presidential candidate or continue the comeback trail for Nikki Haley, Super Tuesday 2024 is set to be a decisive day on the GOP primary and caucus timeline.
So far it's been a bitter and unusual campaign on the red side of the 2024 election campaign. Former governor Nikki Haley has managed to see off strong challenges from the likes of Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, Chris Christie and former vice president Mike Pence to valiantly remain in the fight for the Republican candidacy.
At the 11th time of asking, she finally made a breakthrough with a win at the weekend in the Washington DC vote. It's a modest start, but it's at least something for anti-Trump Republicans to cling on to, with the former President otherwise sweeping all before him despite not participating in any presidential debates.
Donald Trump's popularity and legitimacy to stand haven't been adversely affected by the indictments still hanging over him. To the contrary, they seem to have galvanized the fanbase of the former businessman and reality TV star even further.
In addition to Trump vs Haley, Super Tuesday will also see votes cast in the Democratic race for the White House. But with only low-key candidates Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson competing with Joe Biden, the sitting president's candidacy for re-election is as much of a sure thing as you can get in American politics.
Ready for another huge day for democracy? Here's how to follow the primaries and watch Super Tuesday coverage no matter where you are in the world.
