The word “Super Tuesday” has been making headlines in the United States for the past week, but why is a Tuesday being discussed so much, and why are people so excited about it?
According to CBS News, Super Tuesday, March 5, is when the most states will hold presidential primaries or caucuses. On Super Tuesday, more than one-third of all available delegates for the Republican and Democratic primaries will be at play.
President Joe Biden leads the Democratic candidacy with no strong primary threat, while former President Donald Trump leads ex-United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley in the Republican nomination contest.
While Republicans are anxious about Trump’s federal and state prosecutions in Washington, Florida, New York, and Georgia, with trial dates still unknown, Democratic concerns include Biden’s age, handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict, and voter apathy.
