The Super Tuesday election results were predictable, with both Joe Biden and Donald Trump performing well.
But Trump has some major negatives moving forward, including:
Nikki Haley winning Vermont and DC, and taking about a third of all votes in a number of other state primaries, a sign of Republicans who are not likely to support Trump in November. Since Trump did not ever have a majority of popular votes in 2016 or 2020, he can ill afford to lose the Haley votes, but it will be hard for him to gain that, while facing 91 indictment counts!
The decision of Independent Kyrsten Sinema to give up reelection to the Senate in Arizona makes the Senate race a direct battle between MAGA Republican Kari Lake and Democratic Congressman Ruben Gallego, with Lake being a flawed candidate who already lost the gubernatorial race in 2022 to Governor Katie Hobbs.
The nomination of MAGA Republican Mark Robinson to oppose state Attorney General Josh Stein in North Carolina for the Governorship is another burden for Republicans to bear, realizing that Stein won two races for Attorney General in 2016 and 2020 when Trump was on the ballot in the state in his two Presidential runs.
Both Arizona and North Carolina are crucial states in the Presidential Election of 2024, and Democrats have just gained an edge in both states!
Nicki Haley has dropped out of the Republican Primary’s bid for President.
They took an exit survey of those who voted for Haley. They asked who would they would vote for in the general election?
About 60% to 75% said Biden! No way are they going to vote for Trump
Mitch McConnell has kissed King Donald’s ring. He endorsed him today.
Lawrence O’Donnell said that if Trump manages to get elected in November, it’s important to ensure that the Democrats remain in control of the Senate. They can kill anything bad he tries to do legislatively.
