The primaries on Super Tuesday will not be decided, but the results will play a decisive role in the presidential election in the USA.
In the past, whoever came out on top on election day often became a presidential candidate.

US election 2024: More than a third of the delegates are at stake on Super Tuesday
On the most important day of the primaries, more than a third of the delegates are chosen.
The Republicans have 865 delegates and the Democrats have 1,420. To get the nomination, the Democratic candidate needs 1,968 delegates and the Republican 1,215.
Donald Trump is considered the favorite among the Republicans.
The former president has already won several primaries, most recently in North Dakota.
Trump's fiercest rival is former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, who is lagging behind Trump but recently achieved her first primary victory in Washington DC.
Things are different for the Democrats. The incumbent, Joe Biden, has no competition to fear, but he also has to go through the party's internal primaries.
Super Tuesday results at a glance
The first results of Super Tuesday can be expected in Germany in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Due to individual regulations in individual states - in California, for example, postal votes postmarked on time will be considered until March 12th - it may take longer.

For Nikki Haley, Super Tuesday is the last chance to keep her candidacy alive.
However, it is unlikely that the former governor of South Carolina can turn things around.
Surveys in the USA on Super Tuesday see Trump clearly ahead.
