According to CCTV News on March 6th, on March 5th local time, multiple American media predicted that in the 2024 presidential election primaries held in multiple states on the same day, US President Biden and former President Trump will each win their respective party primaries in Tennessee, Maine, and Oklahoma. In addition, the media predicts that Biden will also win the Democratic primary in Massachusetts.
According to Fox News on March 5th local time, Biden and Trump are expected to win the Alabama Democratic and Republican primaries respectively in the 2024 US presidential election.
According to a prediction by NBC on March 5th local time, Biden and Trump are expected to win the North Carolina Democratic and Republican primaries respectively in the 2024 presidential election.
On March 5th local time, according to the US media Congressional Hill, Biden and Trump will respectively win the Vermont Democratic and Republican primaries in the 2024 US presidential election.
On March 5th local time, according to CNN's prediction, Biden will win the Virginia Democratic primary in the 2024 US presidential election. In addition, according to the American media Congressional Hill, Trump will win the Virginia Republican presidential primary.
According to statistics, as of now, Trump has won the Republican primaries in 14 states: Tennessee, Maine, Oklahoma, Alabama, North Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, North Dakota, Missouri, Michigan, South Carolina, Nevada, New Hampshire, and Iowa.
It is reported that this year's "Super Tuesday" will mainly involve 15 states and one overseas jurisdiction conducting party primaries, including Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia. Alaska only has Republican primaries, while Democratic primaries will not be held until April.
According to sources, US election experts say that after Super Tuesday, the situation in this year's election may become even clearer. Currently, Trump leads the Republican primary and Biden leads the Democratic primary. The primary election is the first stage of the US presidential election. The voting day for this year's US election is November 5th. But this year, there won't be the usual dramatic scenes as Trump's remaining challenger, Nikki Haley, is expected to be completely eliminated, clearing the way for Trump to repeat the scene of his 2020 confrontation with Joe Biden.
It is worth mentioning that on the eve of Super Tuesday, Trump received a gift package from the US Supreme Court.
According to Xinhua News Agency on March 5th, nine Supreme Court justices unanimously agreed on the 4th to restore former Republican President Donald Trump's eligibility to participate in the presidential primary in Colorado. The ruling overturns the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to ban Trump from participating in the state's primary, and also terminates similar attempts by states such as Illinois and Maine to ban Trump from running.
The Supreme Court of the United States holds that each state has the right, under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, to disqualify or attempt to serve as a state government official, but has no right, under this provision, to target federal government officials, especially presidential and related candidates.
The Third Section of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution is known as the "Rebel Prohibition," which prohibits those who swear their support for the US Constitution and then participate in rebellion from holding public office. This provision was introduced after the Civil War and was rarely cited. On the 4th, it was the first time the Federal Supreme Court made a ruling on this provision.
The Colorado Supreme Court ruled in December last year, citing the "Rebel Ban," that Trump was ineligible to hold public office due to his involvement in the 2021 Capitol Hill riots. The Trump camp raised objections to this ruling and appealed it to the Federal Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court of the United States ruled on the 4th that only Congress, through legislation, has the power to deprive federal public officials and candidates of their qualifications to perform their duties. However, according to multiple media reports, this ruling was only passed with the support of five justices and the opposition of four.
Three liberal and conservative justices, Amy Kony Barrett, believe that the Supreme Court should not limit how the "Rebel Ban" will be enforced in the future. Barrett emphasized that the differing opinions among the justices should not be magnified, and the Federal Supreme Court ruled that "the country should be cooled rather than heated up.".
On the same day, Trump cheered on social media, stating that the Supreme Court's ruling on that day was "a major victory for the United States.".
Multiple media outlets speculate that the ruling of the Federal Supreme Court is favorable to Trump. He is currently the most popular candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. The Associated Press also pointed out that the ruling of the Federal Supreme Court did not explicitly exempt Trump from responsibility for the Capitol Hill riots, and this "silence" was seen by his critics as "some kind of victory.".
