All information and developments about the US primaries on Super Tuesday in our news ticker.
Update from March 5th, 5:23 p.m.:
Would Nikki Haley support Donald Trump as a candidate in the 2024 US election if he wins the primaries?
The former UN ambassador has not yet wanted to give any guarantees about this.
Haley told Fox News
on
the day of Super Tuesday.
“I haven't heard yet that he has promised to support me if I win.
So I don’t know why approach him and promise to support him.”
Traditionally, Republicans have a duty of loyalty.
Whoever loses the primaries supports their own candidate in a duel with the Democrats.
In the run-up to Super Tuesday, Haley had indicated, according to CNN, that she did not feel bound by this commandment.

Super Tuesday in the US election campaign – preliminary decision for Donald Trump?
Update from March 5th, 11:49 a.m.:
The next milestone in the presidential election campaign in the USA is coming up today.
On Super Tuesday, Democrats and Republicans will hold their primaries in more than a dozen states.
Can Donald Trump finally pull the plug on his rival Nikki Haley on this day?
Not formally yet.
Although 865 of a total of 2,429 delegate votes are up for election, that is not enough.
Even if Trump won all the votes, he wouldn't have reached his goal yet.
But he would come significantly closer to the 1215 vote mark.
So far, Trump has 273 votes, Haley has 43.
That's how many delegates Trump and Haley collected before Super Tuesday

Super Tuesday in the USA: Trump starts with victory
First reported:
Washington, DC.
– The time has come: In primary elections in a total of 15 states in the USA, voters will vote on the presidential candidates for the 2024 US election for the Democrats and Republicans on Tuesday (March 5th).
In the most populous states of California and Texas, among others, a decision will be made on so-called Super Tuesday.
Among the Republicans, ex-President Donald Trump is heading for the re-nomination for the highest state office.
Trump has clearly won almost all previous primaries.
As expected, the 77-year-old also won the Republican party's internal vote on the presidential candidacy in the state of North Dakota on Monday evening.
The voting marathon is a little less tense this time because the result has been apparent for some time.

Duel with Donald Trump: What will Haley decide after Super Tuesday?
Trump's only remaining intra-party rival, former governor and ambassador Nikki Haley, could drop out of the race if she experiences another serious defeat on Super Tuesday.
Haley won one of the primaries for the first time on Sunday, but only in the capital district of Washington, which is considered a stronghold of Trump opponents and is not very significant in terms of numbers in the race.
Among the Democrats, President Joe Biden is almost certain to run again.
Voting takes place in Alabama, California, Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia, among others.
The vote will be taken to decide who should run as a candidate for each party in the presidential election at the beginning of November.
After the national primaries have concluded, the two major US parties will formally select their candidates for the presidential election in November at party conferences in the summer.
Democrats' Super Tuesday: No competition for Biden
For the Democrats, incumbent Joe Biden wants to run for another term.
The 81-year-old US President has no serious competition in his party's internal race.
At the moment everything indicates that Biden and Trump will ultimately compete against each other again.
Supreme Court rules in Trump's favor before Super Tuesday
And Trump was able to claim another significant success on Monday.
The Republican successfully fended off attempts by his opponents to exclude him from the presidential race.
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Colorado and other states have no authority to remove Republicans from the party primary ballot.
Instead, this lies with the US Congress.
This part of the decision was no longer unanimous.
For four judges, this determination went too far.
With the decision, the court provided clarity shortly before the important primary election day “Super Tuesday”.
Although the decision was not a surprise, it was still of great consequence.
Plaintiffs have been trying for some time in various states to prevent Trump from participating in the primaries and to have the 77-year-old's name removed from ballot papers.
The background to the dispute is the unprecedented attack on the US parliament building almost exactly three years ago.
Trump supporters violently stormed the Capitol in Washington on January 6, 2021.
Congress met there to formally confirm Democrat Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election.
Trump still doesn't recognize it today.
What happens next after the US primaries?
The Republican and Democratic primaries run until the beginning of June.
The Republican nomination convention will take place from July 15th to 18th in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The Democrats will nominate their presidential candidate at a party conference from August 19th to 22nd in Chicago, Illinois.
The hot phase of the election campaign begins after the Democratic Party Convention at the latest.
It also includes three television debates between the presidential candidates.
