Super Tuesday results: Trump and Biden set for November rematch after double dominance

Voters across 16 states and one U.S. territory headed to the polls on Tuesday for the biggest primary election night of the 2024 cycle.

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump swept a majority of the delegates up for grabs for their respective parties. Biden ended the night with over 800 delegates, winning at least 607 delegates on Tuesday in 16 states — his one loss came from American Samoa, where he lost to a relatively unknown candidate.

Trump, meanwhile, swept up at least 695 delegates, surpassing 800 delegates total as he seeks to push former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley out of the GOP primary. Haley denied Trump a clean sweep, however, securing her second primary win with Vermont.

The elections are expected to all but determine who the candidates will be for both Republicans and Democrats, with about a third of the delegates having been at stake on Super Tuesday. All eyes will be on Haley in the aftermath of Super Tuesday to determine whether she’ll drop her campaign.

Here are the results from 2024’s biggest primary election night:

Results

Alaska

Trump defeated Haley in the last contest of the night after the Associated Press called the caucuses at 2:17 a.m. Eastern time. With nearly all the votes counted, Trump led Haley 87.6% to 12%, which could put Haley short of the 13% threshold to receive delegates.

Polls closed: 12 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday

Delegates at stake: 29

California

Biden won all 424 delegates in California’s primary election. The Associated Press called the race 12 minutes after the polls closed at 11 p.m. Eastern time, with Biden taking in 90.3% of the vote with 33% of votes counted as of 1:02 a.m.

Unlike the Republican presidential primary where voters are required to be registered with their party to vote for its nominee, Democrats and unaffiliated voters are allowed to cast ballots in the Democratic race.

The primary has a winner-take-all system, meaning the candidate who receives over 50% of the votes gets all of the delegates. For Democrats, Biden faced long-shot challenges from Marianne Williamson and Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN). In addition to offering in-person voting, California sends all registered voters a mail-in ballot. Jill Stein and Cornel West were also on the ballot for the Green Party and Peace and Freedom Party, respectively.

Trump won all 169 of California’s delegates in the winner-take-all race. The Associated Press called the race 13 minutes after the polls closed at 11 p.m. Eastern time, with Trump receiving 75.3% of the vote with 39% of votes counted as of 1:03 a.m.

A Republican rule change last year for primary voting in California helped Trump score his big win in record time. The new rule allows any GOP candidate pulling in more than half of the primary votes to sweep all of the state’s 169 delegates in play. When the rule change was proposed, the pool of Republican candidates was much more robust than it is now.

Primaries in a presidential year usually bring a strong turnout, but early returns in the state have shown a lot of Californians sitting the election out. As of Monday, only 3 million vote-by-mail ballots had been returned, according to the secretary of state.

Even with a win in the primaries in California, Trump has a slim shot of taking the state in November. California has 54 votes in the Electoral College and has voted for Democratic presidential candidates since 1992.

Polls closed: 11 p.m. Eastern time

Delegates at stake: 424 for Democrats, 169 for Republicans

What to watch: All eyes were also on the Senate primary race to replace the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein next year.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) pushed his way through a crowded primary field on Tuesday to secure a spot in November’s general election. The Associated Press called the high-profile race 31 minutes after the polls closed at 11 p.m. Eastern time.

Multiple outlets seemed to indicate political newcomer and baseball star Steve Garvey, a Republican, will follow him into the runoff election. The matchup sets up a relatively easy fight to the finish that Schiff’s campaign largely choreographed for the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s Senate seat.

A Garvey win helps avoid a costly slugfest between Schiff and Democratic rival Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) that would have tested intraparty loyalties and drained resources that could be better spent on vulnerable Democrats in toss-up races.

Vermont

Haley narrowly beat Trump in Vermont’s primary, her first primary win of Super Tuesday. The two candidates remained neck and neck as the ballots were counted, a sign of how close the race was.  The Associated Press didn’t call the race until nearly four hours after the polls closed at 7 p.m. Eastern time. Haley had 49.9% of the vote to Trump’s 45.8%, with 98% of the ballots counted as of 12:19 a.m.

This is Haley’s second primary win after she won Washington, D.C.’s GOP primary on Sunday. Haley campaigned in South Burlington, Vermont, on Sunday with Gov. Phil Scott (R-VT), who has been an outspoken critic of Trump. The liberal state is an open primary, meaning independent voters and Democrats hoping to block Trump likely voted for Haley in the GOP primary delivering Haley the victory.

Biden defeated top Democratic challengers Phillips and Williamson in Vermont’s primary Tuesday night. The Associated Press called the race 20 minutes after the polls closed at 7 p.m. Eastern. Biden won 87.6% of the vote to Phillips’s 3% and Williamson’s 4.8% with 2% of the ballots counted.

Polls closed at 7 p.m. Eastern time

Delegates at stake: 16 for Democrats, 17 for Republicans

American Samoa

Little-known entrepreneur Jason Palmer won American Samoa’s Democratic caucuses, a surprise victory over the incumbent president.

Palmer had 56% of the vote to Biden’s 44% after the Democratic caucuses ballots were tallied, according to multiple outlets.

American Samoa Democrats, who cannot vote in November’s general election, dished up a surprise last presidential cycle when they awarded former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg four delegates and former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, then a Democrat, the remaining two. Bloomberg spent $1 billion on his roughly three-month 2020 campaign, according to financial disclosure reports, but he only amassed 41 delegates.

American Samoa will host its Republican caucuses on Friday.

Utah

Biden won the Utah Democratic primary and will be awarded 30 delegates for the victory.

The Associated Press called the election five minutes after polling closed at 10 p.m. Eastern time, with Biden winning 87.5% of votes, compared to Phillips’s 4.4%, with 61% reporting as of 12:51 a.m. In a surprise, Williamson came in second place, with 4.9% of the vote. Gabriel Cornejo and Frank Lozada were also on the ballot.

Trump was declared the winner of the Utah caucuses by the Associated Press at 3:39 a.m., holding 58% of the vote with 65% of the vote counted at the time the call was made.

Polls closed: 10 p.m. Eastern time for Democrats, 11 p.m. Eastern time for Republicans

Delegates at stake: 30 for Democrats, 40 for Republicans

Minnesota

Biden won the 2024 Minnesota Democratic primary. The Associated Press called the race 24 minutes after the polls closed at 9 p.m. Eastern time. Biden has 70.6% of the vote compared to Phillips’s 7.8%, with 98% of the ballots counted as of 1:15 a.m. The president secured the state’s 93 Democratic delegates, besting Phillips in his home state. He came in third behind “uncommitted,” which earned 19.0% of the vote. Several other candidates are on the ballot for the primary, including Williamson.

The “uncommitted” movement gathered enough traction in the Michigan primary to earn two delegates, opposing Biden over his handling of the Israel-Hamas war.

Trump won the 2024 Minnesota Republican primary, securing the state’s ⁦39 delegates and cementing his path to notch the 1,215 he needs to win the party nomination. The Associated Press called the race 24 minutes after the polls closed at 9 p.m. Eastern time. Trump has 69.1% of the vote compared to Haley’s 28.8%, with 98% of the ballots counted as of 1:15 a.m Three other Republicans appeared on the ballot despite exiting the race.

Polls closed: 9 p.m. Eastern time.

Delegates at stake: 75 for Democrats, 39 for Republicans

Texas

Trump defeated Haley in the Texas Republican primary, securing one of the largest prizes on Super Tuesday. The Associated Press called the race a minute after the polls closed at 9 p.m. Eastern time. Trump has 78.2% of the vote to Haley’s 17.1%, with 81% of the votes counted as of 1:16 a.m.

Biden won the Democratic primary in Texas, notching another Super Tuesday victory for the incumbent President. The Associated Press called the race in Biden’s favor at 9 p.m. Eastern time. Biden led with 84.7% of the vote with 78% of the vote counted as of 1:16 a.m.

Voting closed at 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. Eastern time

Delegates at stake: 244 for Democrats, 161 for Republicans

What to watch: One of the most high-profile races of the night was the Senate primary race as Democrats determined who would face Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in November. Texas Democrats have chosen Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX), a congressman from northeast Dallas, to take on Cruz. Allred led significantly among his closest competitors, state Sen. Roland Gutierrez, who has gained name recognition after he responded to the Uvalde school shooting that happened in his district, and Mark Gonzalez, a former district attorney.

Several news outlets called the race for Allred, including NBC News and ABC News, with Allred leading with about 60% of the vote with just under two-thirds of the votes in. Cruz handily won his own primary with 88.7% of the vote with 88% counted, according to the Associated Press.

All other House primaries are being held on Tuesday as well, including those to fill the open seats of Allred and Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) in the 12th Congressional District and Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) in the 26th District.

Brandon Gill defeated several Republican opponents in the 26th District primary at 58.4% with 99% of votes counted as of 12:52 a.m. He will face off against Democrat Ernst Lineberger, who ran uncontested. The 12th District has not been called, but Republican state Rep. Craig Goldman is leading among GOP candidates at 44.4% with 99% of the vote counted, and Democrat Trey Hunt leads with 57.7% as of 1:22 a.m. with 41% of the vote counted.

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) is headed toward a primary runoff after failing to clinch his party’s nomination in Texas Congressional District 23. He will face off against Brandon Herrera, a gun rights advocate, according to the Associated Press. The primary comes after the Texas GOP censured him for breaking with the party over his positions on border security and gun control. Texas law requires primary candidates to get more than 50 percent of the vote to secure the nomination outright. Otherwise, the top two finishers face each other in a May 28 runoff.

Colorado

Biden won the Democratic primary in Colorado, adding the state to his list of sweeping wins across Super Tuesday primaries. The Associated Press called the race in Biden’s favor at 9:04 p.m. Eastern time. Biden won with 83.9% of the vote with 77% of the vote counted as of 1:24 a.m.

On the Republican side, Trump handily defeated Haley in Colorado’s GOP primary, delivering another blow to Haley’s longshot presidential bid as the former president inches closer to cinching all of the delegates up for grabs on Tuesday. With 80% of the vote counted, Trump defeated Haley 63.3% to her 33.4% as of 1:24 a.m. with the Associated Press calling the race at 9:09 p.m. Eastern time.

Eyes were on Colorado after the Supreme Court overturned the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to remove Trump from the ballot. While there were some concerns over whether the reversal would cause confusion on his ballot status, voters came out in droves to cast their support behind Trump, 505,977 to Haley’s 267,414 voters as of 1:24 a.m. Eastern time.

Polls closed: 9 p.m. Eastern time

Delegates at stake: 72 for Democrats, 37 for Republicans

Maine

Biden won the Democratic primary in Maine, handily defeating his challengers and notching another Super Tuesday victory for the incumbent. The Associated Press called the race in Biden’s favor at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time. Biden led with 92.9% of the vote with 82% of the vote counted as of 1:25 a.m.

Trump defeated Haley in Maine’s primary, dealing another blow to Haley’s longshot presidential bid as the former president inches closer to securing the GOP nomination. With 84% of the vote counted, Trump defeated Haley 72.2% to her 26.0% as of 1:26 a.m.

Maine is experimenting with ranked choice voting in its primary election this year, by which lower-performing candidates are dropped from results, and their voters’ second choices are added to tabulations until the top candidate surpasses 50% and is declared the winner. Ranked choice ballots offer voters the chance to pick second and third choices.

Voting closed at 8 p.m. Eastern time

Delegates at stake: 24 for Democrats, 20 for Republicans

Oklahoma

Biden won the Oklahoma Democratic primary, securing the state’s 36 delegates. The Associated Press called the race 15 minutes after the polls closed at 9 p.m. Eastern time. Biden has 73% of the vote, compared to Williamson’s 9.1% and Phillips’s 8.9%, as of 12:30 a.m.

Oklahoma is the third state in which Williamson nabbed second place, the others being Utah and Arkansas. The other candidates on the ballot were Williamson, Armando Perez-Serrato, Stephen Lyons, and Cenk Uygur.

Phillips failed to come close to Biden despite the state allowing independents to vote, a group he has relied on for support. Also absent from Oklahoma was a significant uncommitted threat, unlike in Michigan last month.

Trump won the Oklahoma Republican primary. The Associated Press called the race for Trump 15 minutes after the polls closed at 9 p.m. Eastern time. Trump had 81.8% of the vote compared to just 15.9% for Haley, with 98% of the votes counted as of 12:30 a.m.

The Oklahoma GOP has a closed primary, so only registered Republicans could vote. The victory maintains Trump’s winning streak in every state primary. Haley’s sole victory so far has been the Washington, D.C., caucuses.

Voting closed at 8 p.m. Eastern time

Delegates at stake: 36 for Democrats, 43 for Republicans

Tennessee

Trump won the 2024 Tennessee Republican primary, securing the state’s ⁦58 delegates. The Associated Press called the race eight minutes after the polls closed at 8 p.m Eastern time. Trump has 77.3% of the vote compared to Haley’s 19.6%, with 99% of the ballots counted. Five other Republicans appeared on the ballot despite their withdrawal from the race.

Biden won the 2024 Tennessee Democratic primary. The Associated Press called the race nine minutes after the polls closed at 8 p.m. Eastern time. Biden has 92.1% of the vote, with 98% of the ballots counted. An option to vote “uncommitted” appeared on the ballot, which has gathered 7.9%. “Uncommitted” earned enough votes in Michigan last week to win two delegates.

Biden secured 70 Democratic delegates from Tennessee. Phillips, a long-shot Democratic presidential candidate, failed to make it on the primary ballot in Tennessee. Williamson, a Democrat who unsuspended her campaign after the Michigan primary, also did not appear on Tuesday’s ballot.

Voting closed at 8 p.m. Eastern time

Delegates at stake: 63 for Democrats, 58 for Republicans

North Carolina

Biden has won the Democratic primary in North Carolina, continuing the president’s Super Tuesday dominance over author Marianne Williamson and Phillips. The president has yet to lose a primary contest this election cycle, though many Democratic primary voters and caucusgoers have cast ballots for “uncommitted” as doubts surface regarding his age and handling of Israel’s war in Gaza.

The Associated Press called the race for Biden’s favor at 7:38 p.m., just eight minutes after the polls closed. Biden led with 87.3% of the vote with 97% of the vote counted as of 1:15 a.m.

The Associated Press called the race for Trump at 8 p.m. Eastern time, with Trump earning 73.9% of the vote to just 23.3% for Haley as of 1:14 a.m. Roughly 4% of the votes had been counted when the race was called.

Polls closed at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time

Delegates at stake: 116 for Democrats, 74 for Republicans

What to watch: Voters in North Carolina not only weighed in on the presidential race but also a number of down-ballot races to decide.

North Carolina’s highly anticipated governor’s race has been finalized, with Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson and Democrat Attorney General Josh Stein squaring off to replace outgoing Gov. Roy Cooper in November.

Both men easily won their respective primaries over relatively crowded fields, with Stein fending off four other Democrats and Robinson outlasting two other Republicans.

The Associated Press called both races just after 8 p.m. Eastern time. Robinson pulled in 64.8% of all GOP votes, with 93% of the ballots counted, while Stein earned 69.6% support with 96% of Democratic ballots counted as of 1:15 a.m.

The North Carolina race will be closely watched ahead of the general election, as just one of two battleground governor’s races taking place alongside an expected general election rematch between Biden and Trump.

The most high-profile congressional primary is set to take place in North Carolina’s 1st District, which has been transformed into a swing district after the state enacted new congressional maps earlier this year. That puts incumbent Rep. Don Davis (D-NC) in a vulnerable spot as he seeks reelection in November.

Voters also will weigh in on the attorney general’s race, which could feature a head-to-head matchup between Reps. Dan Bishop (R-NC) and Jeff Jackson (D-NC), who both opted not to run for reelection to run for the statewide position. Jackson chose not to run again in the 14th Congressional District after the new maps made his district much more favorable to Republicans.

The Associated Press called the GOP primary for North Carolina’s 14th Congressional District for Tim Moore at 8:11 p.m. Moore earned 75% of the vote with 99% of the ballots counted as of 12:37 a.m.

Other races on the ballot are the open seats for retiring Reps. Wiley Nickel (D-NC), Kathy Manning (D-NC), and Patrick McHenry (R-NC).

Virginia

Biden has won the Democratic primary in Virginia, marking the president’s second win of the night against his two challengers. The Associated Press called the race in Biden’s favor at 7:09 p.m. Eastern time, just nine minutes after the polls closed. Biden led with 88.7% of the vote with 98% of the vote counted as of 12:34 a.m.

Trump is also projected to have won the GOP primary in Virginia, joining in to deliver a possibly fatal blow to Haley’s campaign. With 98% of the vote counted, Trump leads Haley 63.1% to 34.8% as of 12:36 a.m.

Polls closed at 7 p.m. Eastern time

Delegates at stake: 99 for Democrats, 48 for Republicans

What to watch: Virginia was expected to be Haley’s best shot at making a dent on Trump’s Super Tuesday performance as the state does not have party registration requirements, meaning Democratic voters could opt to vote in the GOP primary instead. Much of Haley’s best performances have come in areas where Democrats have voted for her in the Republican primary.

Iowa

Results:

Biden won the Iowa caucuses, handily defeating challengers Phillips and Williamson. Only Democrats are voting in Iowa on Tuesday after Republicans held their first-in-the-nation caucuses in January.

The Associated Press called the race in Biden’s favor at 5:50 p.m. Biden led with 90.9% with nearly all the vote counted. Biden won all 40 delegates at stake in the state.

The ballot also featured an “uncommitted” option, which some Democratic voters have used to protest Biden’s policies regarding the Israel war. When the race was called, that option had garnered 3.9% of the vote, ahead of both Phillips and Williamson.

Democrats have been voting by mail in the primary election in a process that started in January after the Democratic National Committee removed Iowa as the first nominating state.

Voting closed at 6 p.m. Eastern time

Delegates at stake: 40

Alabama

Biden bested Phillips again in Alabama’s primary Tuesday night, steamrolling his way through a sweep of the Super Tuesday states. The Associated Press called the race 48 minutes after the polls closed at 8 p.m. Eastern. Biden had nearly 89.2% of the vote to Phillips’s 4.9% with 93% of the ballots counted as of 1:23 a.m. The uncommitted vote received 6.0%, in a small sign of anger at Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war.

On the GOP front, Trump continued his dominance of the Super Tuesday when he defeated Haley in Alabama’s primary Tuesday night. The Associated Press called the race 45 minutes after the polls closed at 8 p.m. Eastern time. Trump had 83.2% of the vote to Haley’s 13%, with 93% of the ballots counted as of 1:34 a.m.

Voting closed at 8 p.m. Eastern time

Delegates at stake: 52 for Democrats, 50 for Republicans

What to watch: Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL) defeated fellow Republican Rep. Jerry Carl (R-AL) as they battled for Alabama’s 1st District. This was the first primary race after new congressional maps were approved giving more representation to black voters.

The approval of Remedial Plan 3 gave Democrats a chance to pick up the 2nd District that Moore represents. Moore chose to run against Carl in the 1st District instead. The Associated Press called the race at 10:49 Eastern time, more than two hours after the polls closed at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

Massachusetts

Biden has won the Democratic Primary in Massachusetts, securing the state’s 92 delegates. The president was facing off against Williamson and Phillips. The Associated Press called the race 27 minutes after the polls closed at 8 p.m. Eastern time. Biden won 82.8% of the vote compared to 9.4% of voters who chose no preference, to Phillips’s 4.6% and Williamson’s 3.2% with about 80% of the ballots counted as of 1:35 a.m.

Though Biden has not lost a single primary in the Democratic nominating schedule thus far, a number of Democratic primary voters and caucusgoers have cast ballots for “uncommitted” as a protest vote of his handling of Israel’s war in Gaza and amid concerns about his age.

Trump has won the Massachusetts primary over former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. The Associated Press called the race 48 minutes after the polls closed at 8 p.m. Eastern time. Trump had 60% of the vote to Haley’s 36.7%, with 77% of the votes counted as of 1:32 a.m.

Voting closed at 8 p.m. Eastern time

Delegates at stake: 92 for Democrats, 40 for Republicans

Arkansas

Biden easily won the Arkansas Democratic presidential primary Tuesday night. The Associated Press called the race at 8:43 p.m. Eastern time, with Biden earning 88.7% support with 59% of the ballots counted as of 1:35 a.m. Williamson earned 4.8% support, while Phillips pulled in just 2.8% of all votes.

Trump trounced Haley in the 2024 Arkansas GOP primary, casting even more doubt on the viability of her already longshot bid for the 2024 Republican nomination. The Associated Press called the race at 9:02 p.m. Eastern time with just 13% of the votes counted. As of 1:39 a.m., Trump has earned 75.4% support, compared to just 19.6% for Haley.

Voting closed at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time

Delegates at stake: 31 for Democrats, 40 for Republicans

What to watch: The primary elections for Arkansas’s four congressional seats are on the ballot on Tuesday. The most competitive of those is expected to be between Rep. Steve Womack (R-AR), who is facing a challenge from state Sen. Clint Penzo.
