Super Tuesday is over, what's next?

The 2024 presidential election is all but set with Democrat President Biden and Republican former President Donald Trump emerging from Super Tuesday as the presumptive nominees of their respective parties. 

Republican candidate Nikki Haley dropped out of the GOP primary on Wednesday morning after winning just one state, Vermont, out of the 15 primary contests that took place Tuesday. She was the last remaining serious primary challenger to Trump. Biden has repeatedly trounced his primary challengers and does not face a serious threat to re-nomination on the Democratic side.

Barring withdrawal for reasons of health or age, Biden, 81, and Trump, 77, will be formally nominated at the Republican and Democratic national conventions this summer. 

The Republican National Convention will be held in Milwaukee from July 15-18, 2024. The Democratic National Convention will take place a month later in Chicago, from August 19-22.

After convention delegates select each party's nominee, the general election campaign will begin in earnest as Trump and Biden face off in a 2020 rematch. Election Day is Tuesday, November 5, 2024.

Marianne Williamson surprises by coming in second in multiple states, leapfrogging Dean Phillips

Marianne Williamson surprised Democratic insiders by coming in second behind President Biden in multiple states.

Williamson unsuspended her Democratic primary campaign on Wednesday after coming in second ahead of Biden challenger Rep. Dean Phillips in Michigan.

She managed to score second place in multiple states on Super Tuesday, including Arkansas, California, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Vermont.

While Williamson failed to scoop up any delegates — and Biden dominated every election except American Samoa — her performance shows a notable base of support compared to Phillips.

Williamson made the announcement in a video statement on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. Williamson said she returned to the race because she believes Biden is a vulnerable candidate to put up against former President Donald Trump.

Williamson has amassed an enthusiastic following on social media, something she believes can translate into real votes as she seeks to unseat Biden in the party's primary.

"American politics is very unpredictable," Williamson told Fox News Digital. "That's part of what makes it exciting and what makes it kind of challenging at times. If you're running, you run to win. You run to get your ideas out in front of the voters."

'Uncommitted' protest vote against Biden draws tens of thousands on Super Tuesday

Tens of thousands of Super Tuesday voters sent a message to President Biden, after they chose to mark "uncommitted" on their ballots over voting for him. 

With 99% of the expected votes counted in Minnesota, nearly 1 in 3 voters backed someone other than the president, with nearly 46,000 voters, or nearly 19% of Democrats, marking their ballots "uncommitted," or willfully deciding not to back any named candidate, to protest his support for Israel.

The sizable protest vote in Minnesota extended to six other states — Alabama, Colorado, Iowa, Massachusetts, North Carolina and Tennessee — where tens of thousands of voters also refused to support Biden, undoubtedly raising questions for his re-election campaign.

The votes come just a week after Arab American and Muslim community leaders in Michigan, home to one of the largest Muslim communities in the U.S., urged voters not to support Biden.

Progressive groups have backed the "uncommitted" vote to protest Biden's support for Israel and its continued war against the Hamas terror group in Gaza, which has resulted in millions of Palestinians becoming displaced from their homes and the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians. 

The "uncommitted" option appeared on the Democratic ballot in six other Super Tuesday states, and each took a chunk of support away from the president.

In Alabama, over 11,000 voters, or roughly 6%, voted for "uncommitted." The option collected the second-most votes in the state.

In Colorado, over 43,000 voters, or roughly 8% of the vote, marked "Noncommitted Delegate" on the ballot. 

In Iowa, 4% of the total vote backed "Uncommitted."

In Massachusetts, over 54,000 voters, or just under 10%, backed "No Preference."

In North Carolina, a whopping 88,000 voters, or nearly 13%, backed "No Preference."

Finally, in Tennessee, approximately 10,450 voters, or nearly 8%, voted "Uncommitted."

McConnell endorses Trump for president

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConell, R-Ky., endorsed former President Donald Trump for president Wednesday after Nikki Haley dropped out of the Republican primary.

In a statement, McConnell acknowledged that Trump is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and said "it should come as no surprise" that he will support Trump to win in November. 

"It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States. It should come as no surprise that as nominee, he will have my support," McConnell said. 

"During his Presidency, we worked together to accomplish great things for the American people including tax reform that supercharged our economy and a generational change of our federal judiciary — most importantly, the Supreme Court. I look forward to the opportunity of switching from playing defense against the terrible policies the Biden administration has pursued to a sustained offense geared towards making a real difference in improving the lives of the American people."

Biden salutes Haley as she exits GOP primary, invites her supporters to join his campaign

President Biden said Republican Nikki Haley ran a courageous primary campaign against former President Donald Trump and invited her supporters to join him after Haley dropped out on Wednesday. 

“It takes a lot of courage to run for President – that’s especially true in today’s Republican Party, where so few dare to speak the truth about Donald Trump. Nikki Haley was willing to speak the truth about Trump: about the chaos that always follows him, about his inability to see right from wrong, about his cowering before Vladimir Putin," Biden said in a statement. 

"Donald Trump made it clear he doesn’t want Nikki Haley’s supporters. I want to be clear: There is a place for them in my campaign. I know there is a lot we won’t agree on. But on the fundamental issues of preserving American democracy, on standing up for the rule of law, on treating each other with decency and dignity and respect, on preserving NATO and standing up to America’s adversaries, I hope and believe we can find common ground," he continued. 

"We all know this is no ordinary election. And the stakes for America couldn’t be higher. I know that Democrats and Republicans and Independents disagree on many issues and hold strong convictions. That’s a good thing. That’s what America stands for. But I also know this: what unites Democrats and Republicans and Independents is a love for America.” 

Although Haley came out on top in just one contest on Tuesday, recent polls suggest large portions of voters supporting her say they were motivated by their opposition to Trump, and that they might not shift their support to him as the Republican nominee in November.

Biden is making an active play for those supporters, hoping that if Trump will be unable to form a coalition that can deliver 270 Electoral College votes in November.

Nikki Haley does not endorse Trump, says he needs to earn support of her voters

Nikki Haley congratulated former President Donald Trump on his Super Tuesday victories and announced she would suspend her bid for the Republican presidential nomination in a speech in Charleston, South Carolina on Wednesday.  

"I am filled with the gratitude for the outpouring of support we've received from all across our great country," Haley said. "But the time has now come just suspend my campaign." 

In brief remarks to a crowd of supporters, Haley did not endorse Trump but called on the presumptive 2024 Republican nominee to earn votes from those who did not back him in the Republican primary. 

"It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him," Haley said. "And I hope he does that. At its best, politics is about bringing people into your cause, not turning them away." 

Trump kicked Haley on her way out of the primary in a post on Truth Social shortly after her remarks began. 

"Nikki Haley got TROUNCED last night, in record setting fashion, despite the fact that Democrats, for reasons unknown, are allowed to vote in Vermont, and various other Republican Primaries. Much of her money came from Radical Left Democrats, as did many of her voters, almost 50%, according to the polls," Trump wrote. 

"At this point, I hope she stays in the 'race' and fights it out until the end! I’d like to thank my family, friends, and the Great Republican Party for helping me to produce, by far, the most successful Super Tuesday in HISTORY, and would further like to invite all of the Haley supporters to join the greatest movement in the history of our Nation. BIDEN IS THE ENEMY, HE IS DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!"

Top Republicans rally behind Trump, call for unity after dominant Super Tuesday showing

Reactions poured in from prominent conservatives on social media as former President Trump cruised to victory in nearly every contest in Super Tuesday’s primaries, most of whom called on the party to unite behind him.

"Man I knew Trump would have a good night but this is a rout," Ohio GOP Senator JD Vance posted on X as Trump continued to stack up victories in state after state on Tuesday night. "For voters, we have the next six months to convince them that DJT deserves another term."

"But for donors and political professionals, it's time to unite behind our nominee. Please stop wasting time and money."

"Admit it," Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott posted on X. "The primary is over."

"Time for Republicans to unite and restore sanity at the border."

"It is LONG past time for us to rally around President Trump as our Republican nominee who will defeat Joe Biden this November," GOP Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, thought by some to be in consideration for Trump’s running mate, posted on X.  

"The GOP presidential primary is over," Ohio GOP Chair Alex Triantafilou posted on X. "President Trump’s resounding Super Tuesday victories have solidified it. It is time to listen to our voters and unite the Republican Party."

"Voters across our country have spoken — this race is about the American people," South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott, also rumored to be a potential pick for vice president, posted on X. "It's about safe streets, quality education, and a secure border. Donald J. Trump is the one candidate to unite our country around success and WIN in November."

MSNBC's Psaki, Maddow laugh at and mock Virginia voters for caring about border crisis

An MSNBC panel led by Rachel Maddow laughed at and mocked Virginia Republican voters who listed the border and immigration as a top priority during coverage of Super Tuesday.

Far-left anchor Joy Reid assailed White working-class Republican voters as only making their decisions based on race and not thanking President Biden, a "White working-class guy himself," for the "benefits they're getting economically" from him.

"They're voting on race," she said. "They're voting on this idea of an invasion of Brown people over the border."

Jen Psaki, Biden's former White House press secretary, concurred, adding, "Look at some of these exit polls. I live in Virginia. Immigration was the number one issue," as Reid laughed.

Maddow added, "Well, Virginia does have a border with West Virginia," as others on the panel laughed.

Former President Trump carried Virginia easily Tuesday night as part of a string of primary victories over Nikki Haley, cementing his status as the GOP frontrunner. The panel referred to exit polls that showed immigration as a top priority for Republican voters.

"You're thinking like, what?" Psaki said. "Trump has indoctrinated people with this fear of people who do not look like them being a threat to them."

Maddow complained that every election cycle, especially when a Democrat is in office, "we get reminded about the borders," although Republicans have blasted Biden's border policies for years as record-breaking numbers of migrants have crossed into the United States under his administration.

"You make these things an issue, you make them into boogeymen… as long as there's a Democratic incumbent to blame on it," she said. The panel was critical of Trump's role in torpedoing bipartisan border legislation this year, saying he didn't want a solution to the problem.

Haley campaign surrogate predicts she will ultimately endorse Trump

Nikki Haley campaign surrogate Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., reacted to the news that the former South Carolina governor and U.N. Ambassador would suspend her presidential campaign on Wednesday morning. 

Norman told "Fox & Friends" the timing was "right" for Haley to drop out after she lost 14 of 15 Super Tuesday primary contests to Trump, only winning Vermont by a narrow margin. 

"The democratic process played out. And, you know, the people have spoken," Norman said. "I do think she will fully endorse President Trump. If not, you know, today, she will because we've got a country to save. This is bigger than anything we have ever seen. This isn't about personalities. This is really about saving America."

With Haley to bow out of the race at 10:00 a.m. ET in a speech delivered in Charleston, Norman said he will endorse Trump and support him in the November general election.

"Donald Trump can save this country," Norman said.

American Samoa snubs Biden 2 caucuses in a row

President Biden overwhelmingly won the Democratic contests on Super Tuesday, with one notable exception — American Samoa.

The American territory, an island located in the South Pacific Ocean, voted for an unlikely Democratic candidate named Jason Palmer, a 52-year-old businessman from Baltimore.  

Out of 91 ballots cast in the territory's caucus, Palmer won 51 and Biden won 40, according to the local party. The upset will not derail Biden’s march toward his party’s nomination, but it marks the second time the American territory has rejected Biden.

During the 2020 Democratic primaries, billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s only win came in American Samoa. He garnered 175 votes in the contest with Tulsi Gabbard coming second with 103 votes. Bernie Sanders earned 37 votes and Biden came fourth with 31. 

After Tuesday’s caucus, Palmer thanked American Samoa in a message on X.

"Honored to announce my victory in the American Samoa presidential primary. Thank you to the incredible community for your support. This win is a testament to the power of our voices. Together, we can rebuild the American Dream and shape a brighter future for all."

Biden campaign plans to bury Trump in cash, boasts $130 million war chest

President Biden's campaign has amassed a $130 million war chest and is ready to bury presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump in spending to win in November, the campaign says.

A memo released after Super Tuesday argues that only Biden has the resources and infrastructure needed to reach voters and run a modern presidential campaign. 

"Since its launch, Team Biden-Harris has raised nearly $280 million, and finished January with a historic $130 million in cash on hand, the highest total amassed by any Democratic candidate in history at this point in the cycle," Campaign Chair Jen O'Malley Dillon and Campaign Manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez wrote. 

"Groups allied with Biden are flush with resources and have already committed to spending more than $700 million to help him beat Donald Trump again," the memo states.

The memo outlines the Biden campaign's view of the state of the 2024 presidential election. Trump secured his place as the presumptive Republican nominee after winning 14 of the 15 Super Tuesday states, with the lone exception of Vermont. His last remaining challenger, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, will suspend her presidential campaign at 10:00 a.m. ET on Wednesday. 

Biden's team argues Trump is weakened by the primary fight and strapped for cash as Republicans pivot to the general election.

"In January, Trump’s campaign raised $8.8 million while spending around $11.5 million, ending the month $2.6 million in the hole. His super PAC is further in the hole: in the entire month of January, it spent more than it raised. If it couldn’t get any worse, the national Republican Party that will serve as the backbone of his general election campaign is in complete disarray: 2023 was the RNC’s worst fundraising year in almost a decade," the memo states.

"And we’ve yet to mention what appears to be an issue that will not go away this cycle: Trump’s political operation has had to shell out several million per month on legal costs — an amount that accounted for approximately one-third of their total spending last year with that number expected to get even worse."

Biden campaign labels Trump 'beleaguered and ill-equipped' to win the White House

President Biden's campaign argues that former President Trump enters the general election "beleaguered and ill-equipped" to win the White House after his dominant showing in the Republican primary on Super Tuesday.

A memo with takeaways from Tuesday's primary contests was released to the media Wednesday morning. Biden Campaign Chair Jen O'Malley Dillon and Campaign Manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez authored the document, which outlined the campaign's view of the state of the race.

"The results of last night’s Super Tuesday contests cemented what we have known for some time now: Donald Trump limps into the general election as a wounded, dangerous and unpopular candidate," the memo states. "The Republican nominee is cash-strapped, beleaguered by a host of external issues, and is running on an extreme agenda that is already proving to be a significant liability for key voting blocs that are critical to the pathway to 270 electoral votes."

The Biden campaign asserts that the primaries have demonstrated how Trump is struggling to unify a coalition needed to win 270 Electoral College votes. Though Trump won all the Super Tuesday primaries except for Vermont, the memo points to former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's significant share of the GOP primary vote in several states. Dillon and Rodriguez argue that even though Haley has no path to the nomination, a significant number of Republicans are still refusing to back Trump. 

"A significant share of moderate and Haley voters across the country are saying that Trump cannot count on their votes in a general election," the memo states.

In contrast, the Biden-Harris campaign "heads into the general election coming off of consistent wins up and down the ballot, maintains a historic and growing grassroots-powered war chest, and now adds a strong Super Tuesday showing last night to enter the general election well-prepared and well-positioned to win this November."

Texas GOP challengers defeat House incumbents by remaining 'laser focused' on border

Insurgent Republicans won big victories in the Texas primaries on Tuesday, unseating six incumbent state House lawmakers who had opposed Gov. Greg Abbott's school choice agenda.

Three primary winners, Janice Holt, Marc LaHood and Helen Kerwin, spoke to Fox News about their wins and what they plan to do if they go on to win election to the state legislature in November.

"The open border is one of the major issues in our district," said Holt, who defeated Republican state Rep. Ernest Bailes. "Our district is home to one of the largest, if not the largest illegal immigrant population in the country. And it is ground zero here and the open border is terrible here ... the people that live in our district were fed up with our incumbent not doing anything. He's been in office for eight years and they were tired and scared and they wanted change." 

LaHood agreed that the border was the "number one" for voters in his primary. Kerwin, who will advance to a runoff, said voters in her district were looking for more conservative leadership.

Hume warns 'the country sees' that Biden is 'palpably senile' as State of the Union approaches

Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume is not surprised by the growing concerns about President Biden's age and mental acuity – he believes they have been a "ticking time bomb."

Asked on Super Tuesday whether he could have envisioned months ago current polls showing independent voters leaning toward former President Trump on a number of issues, Hume chalked it up at least in part to President Biden's cognizance.

"I was saying back when it was not at all fashionable to say it, that he is senile. And now I think he is palpably senile and the country sees it," Hume said on "Special Report" as Super Tuesday polls prepared to close in 15 states and American Samoa.

Hume said a major challenge for Biden lies later in the week when he will give the annual State of the Union on Thursday, highlighting that the president must prove to Americans that he is not too old for the job.

Biden has been dogged by several news-making gaffes in recent weeks, including a reference to Egyptian President Abdel Fatah el-Sisi as the "president of Mexico" while discussing the Israel-Gaza conflict, and instances where he recounted talking to former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl and French President François Mitterrand several years after they died.

The president also caused a stir after a Connecticut speech on gun control in 2023, when he closed his remarks with "God Save the Queen, man." By that time, King Charles III had become the British monarch upon the passing of his mother Elizabeth II the year prior.

No 2 Senate Republican leader John Thune endorsed Trump in late February

EXCLUSIVE: Senate Minority Whip John Thune, the No. 2 Senate Republican leader, endorsed former President Trump for reelection in February.

It was a key win for Trump from the establishment wing of the Republican Party. The South Dakota Republican is Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s top deputy in the Senate GOP.

"The primary results in South Carolina make clear that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee for president in this year’s pivotal presidential election. The choice before the American people is crystal clear: It’s Donald Trump or Joe Biden," Thune told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview.

"I support former President Trump's campaign to win the presidency, and I intend to do everything I can to see that he has a Republican majority in the Senate working with him to restore American strength at home and abroad," he continued.

Thune and Trump spoke by phone on Saturday night after Trump’s commanding victory in the South Carolina Republican primary, a source familiar with the call told Fox News Digital.

Ryan Binkley dropped out, endorsed Trump for president last week

Former Republican presidential primary candidate Ryan Binkley dropped out of the race as a GOP candidate last week and immediately endorsed Donald Trump for president.

"Today, I am suspending my campaign for the Presidency of the United States of America and offering my endorsement and unwavering support for President Trump," Binkley wrote in a post on X.

Binkley is the CEO of Equity Group, a business advisory company based out of Texas.

"When I began this journey, it was with a message in my heart that our country needs to awaken to the fact that the unsustainable deficit spending and debt path we are on will undoubtedly lead us to a generational economic disruption," Binkley wrote Tuesday. "I believe that we can get off that path and begin a journey to balance the federal budget by transforming and demonopolizing the healthcare system which has been bankrupting our nation. I also felt deeply that as bad as the U.S. fiscal and monetary policy is, the political corruption and cultural divide in our country is an even greater threat. Throughout my campaign, I have seen our party struggle to find a place for a new vision while weighing the corrupt allegations and indictments against President Trump. He will need everyone’s support, and he will have mine moving forward."

Pro-Palestinian protesters interrupt Adam Schiff's victory speech, demand cease-fire in Gaza

Pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted Rep. Adam Schiff's, D-Calif, victory speech on Tuesday after he secured the Democratic nomination for a U.S. Senate seat.

The seat was held for more than 30 years by former Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., until her death last year, prompting Gov. Gavin Newsom to appoint Democrat Sen. Laphonza Butler to fill the vacancy.

As Schiff attempted to introduce his family at his watch party following his victory, demonstrators chanted "cease-fire now" and "Free Palestine," and the chants grew louder as the lawmaker's remarks were drowned out.

At least one person was escorted away from the stage amid the protest.

Schiff addressed the protest following the disruption.

"We are so lucky to live in a democracy where we all have the right to protest," he said. "We want to make sure we keep this kind of democracy."

The California Democrat told reporters Tuesday that he supported the Biden administration’s call for a cease-fire in Gaza on the condition of the release of Israeli hostages.

"My position is the same as the administration, which is there needs to be a deal to release the hostages and have a pause in the fighting," Schiff said.

Trump, Biden, sweep Super Tuesday contests as they move closer to a presidential election rematch

Former President Donald Trump and President Biden are a giant step closer on Wednesday morning to a 2024 general election rematch, after the Republican and Democratic Party frontrunners ran the table on Super Tuesday as 16 states from coast to coast held presidential nominating contests.

"They call it Super Tuesday for a reason. This is a big one," Trump said in a primary night victory speech in front of a large group of supporters at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. "This has been a day that we've been waiting for."

And looking ahead to his all-but-certain general election battle with Biden, Trump highlighted that "November 5th is going to go down as the single most important day in the history of our country."

Biden, in a statement on the Super Tuesday results, said "today, millions of voters across the country made their voices heard—showing that they are ready to fight back against Donald Trump’s extreme plan to take us backwards."

"Every generation of Americans will face a moment when it has to defend democracy. This is our fight," he emphasized.

Longtime Republican strategist David Kochel, a veteran of numerous presidential campaigns, told Fox News as the Super Tuesday votes were being tabulated that "it's pretty clear both parties are ready to get to the general election."

While Trump didn't clinch the 2024 Republican nomination on Tuesday, the former president was on course to capture the vast majority of the 854 Republican delegates up for grabs, moving him significantly closer to locking up the nomination over his last remaining rival – former U.N. ambassador and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.

And while the former president didn't mention Haley in his speech, pointing to his primary victories over his rival, he touted that "there's never been anything so conclusive."

Indeed, Haley will suspend her campaign for president at 10:00 a.m. ET on Wednesday during a speech in Charleston, South Carolina, Fox News Digital has learned. 

Her decision to drop out comes after Trump's convincing victories in 14 of the 15 states holding GOP nominating contests — Haley narrowly edged the former president in Vermont.

Nikki Haley to suspend presidential campaign, won't endorse Trump yet

Nikki Haley will suspend her Republican presidential primary campaign in a speech Wednesday morning, Fox News Digital has confirmed. 

The former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador is scheduled to deliver remarks in Charleston, S.C., at 10:00 a.m. ET. She will make the announcement official in that speech, the Wall Street Journal first reported. 

Haley will not endorse former President Trump during her speech, a source with knowledge of her plans told Fox News Digital.

In a Republican presidential field that topped a dozen candidates last summer, Haley was the final remaining rival to Trump, who for months has been the commanding front-runner in the GOP race as he makes his third straight White House bid.

Haley – who in 2021 and 2022 made numerous trips to Iowa and New Hampshire, the two lead-off states in the Republican presidential nominating calendar – formally launched her 2024 campaign in February of last year. 

But after a disappointing string of defeats by Trump, who dominated his rivals in all primary contests save for Washington, D.C., and Vermont, Haley will now put her White House ambitions on hold.

Dana Perino on 'The Five': Haley 'not going to be the nominee'

Tonight on "The Five," co-host of "America's Newsroom" Dana Perino looked back on Trump's campaign and the former president's suggestion that Nikki Haley can't beat Biden.

"I think you saw one Donald Trump in Iowa, in terms of being very conciliatory, and 'Let's all get along, and everything's great', and then in New Hampshire he was like 'She's absolutely the worst, and a total loser," Perino said of Trump from mid to late January.

"The election is eight months from today. So, there's time," she added. "But I do think after tonight, it is not without question that you will likely be saying that Donald Trump is a presumptive nominee."

Perino also responded to Trump's past remarks that Haley could not beat Biden in the November election.

"She could," Perino said. "But she's not going to be the nominee."
