It was a wild Super Tuesday, and President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump came out on top in the primaries, but not without a few plot twists and turns.
You know who had a stellar night? None other than the one and only Donald Trump. He totally dominated with wins in 16 states and one U.S. territory. Take that, haters! Trump is well on his way to snagging the GOP nomination, with a whopping 751 delegates already in his corner. Even Virginia, which was supposed to be Nikki Haley’s shining moment, couldn’t escape the Trump train. And despite all the hoopla, Haley only managed to eke out a slim victory in Vermont. Tough break, Nikki!
Thank you, Texas! I am honored to be your Democratic nominee.
Together, we are going to beat Ted Cruz and give all Texans the leadership we need in the U.S. Senate. Join our team: https://t.co/fFOgL1mIRj pic.twitter.com/vsM55T4gK6

Meanwhile, over on the Democratic side, Biden was cruising through the night, racking up win after win. But hold your horses, because he hit a hiccup when Jason Palmer, a total underdog, swooped in and snagged the American Samoa Democratic caucuses. Talk about unexpected! It gave a little spice to Biden’s otherwise smooth sailing.
Now, let’s talk winners. Trump, obviously. But let’s not forget Adam Schiff, who’s about to trade in his title of Rep. for Sen. in California. And then there’s Colin Allred, who’s gearing up for a showdown with Ted Cruz in Texas. But hey, let’s be real here, the odds aren’t exactly in his favor.
As for the losers, well, Nikki Haley’s Super Tuesday was a bit of a disaster. She couldn’t catch a break, except for that one small victory in Vermont. If only Haley had some of that trademark Trump bravado, maybe things would’ve turned out differently. Also, Katie Porter’s Senate aspirations went up in smoke when Adam Schiff and baseball star Steve Garvey stole the show in California.
And let’s not forget Jerry Carl, who came up short in the Alabama Republican primary. Tough luck, Jerry.
Oh, and then there’s Joe Biden. Sure, he snagged most of the wins, but his victory parade got rained on when some folks opted for “uncommitted” or “no preference” votes in various states. And to add insult to injury, Jason Palmer crashed Biden’s party with that surprise win in American Samoa. Ouch, that’s gotta sting a bit!
So, there you have it, folks. Super Tuesday brought its fair share of ups and downs, but hey, that’s politics for you!
