Joe Biden and Donald Trump largely cruised to easy victories on Super Tuesday, as official confirmation of a rerun of the 2020 US presidential race – a rematch that a majority of voters say they don’t want – gets closer.
The US has not witnessed a primary campaign season with so little competitive tension since political primaries began to dominate the nomination process in the 1970s. Neither the current president nor the former president secured the nomination of their respective parties, but both are likely to do so within the next two weeks. Biden won every contest except American Samoa, while Trump won everything except Vermont, where Nikki Haley scored a close surprise victory.
