Five major primaries launching 2024 election season before Super Tuesday

The 2024 election year is in full swing, with most states holding primaries on Super Tuesday on March 5. However, five states are hosting either caucuses or primary elections for both parties in January and February, and the results are likely to serve as a precursor to the rest of the election cycle.

While President Joe Biden is likely to be the Democratic presidential nominee, there are three major GOP contenders battling for the Republican nomination. Wins in Iowa and New Hampshire will set the tone for a fierce battle between the top two, with polling indicating that former President Donald Trump’s all-but-assured win could be in jeopardy.
