Biden wins big on Super Tuesday, but loses caucus to entrepreneur


On Super Tuesday, President Joe Biden achieved a dominant performance in the Democratic primaries, securing victories in every state with over 80 percent of the vote in many of them. However, his sweep was not without opposition, as a significant protest vote emerged in some states.

Activists urged voters to select the ‘uncommitted’ option as a protest against Biden’s handling of the war in Gaza. Notably in Minnesota, the ‘uncommitted’ vote reached 19 percent.

As the results rolled in, President Biden issued a statement, turning his attention to his likely opponent in November, former President Donald Trump. Biden’s statement outlined the stakes of the upcoming election, saying, “Tonight’s results leave the American people with a clear choice: Are we going to keep moving forward or will we allow Donald Trump to drag us backwards into the chaos, division, and darkness that defined his term in office.”

Despite his widespread success, Biden experienced a setback, losing the Democratic caucuses in American Samoa to entrepreneur Jason Palmer. Palmer won with 56 percent of the vote, although the total vote count was small, with less than 100 votes between the candidates. This surprising outcome highlighted the diverse political landscape and the challenges facing Biden as he prepares for the general election.
