Super Tuesday 2024 results: Biden and Trump rack up big victories

President Biden and former President Donald Trump won commanding victories across nearly all the states holding Democratic and Republican nominating contests on Super Tuesday , according to CBS News projections, solidifying the likelihood of a general election rematch between the two in November.

Both notched wins in delegate-rich states like California, Texas, Virginia and North Carolina, the largest prizes out of the 16 states and one U.S. territory reporting results on Super Tuesday. Exit polls showed Trump leading former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley among broad segments of the GOP electorate, with voters saying immigration and the economy were their most important issues.

Haley denied Trump a clean sweep of the Super Tuesday contests with a victory in Vermont's Republican primary, just her second win of the primary season.

Trump has accumulated more than 1,050 delegates so far and could clinch a delegate majority next week.

Super Tuesday states award more than a third of the delegates available across the entire nomination process, giving them outsized influence in shaping the state of the race. The heavy concentration of primary contests dates back to 1988, and no Republican since then has won the presidential nomination without winning a majority of states on Super Tuesday.

Trump celebrated the election results in remarks at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, telling a group of supporters that "they call it Super Tuesday for a reason." Mr. Biden did not speak publicly, but said in a statement that his likely general election opponent is "determined to destroy our democracy" and "driven by grievance and grift, focused on his own revenge and retribution, not the American people."

Late Republican and Democratic delegate estimates after Super Tuesday

As of midnight EST, CBS News projections showed Trump with a substantial lead over Haley in the GOP delegate race. While Trump couldn't statistically secure a majority of GOP delegates in Tuesday's contests, he was inching closer to the magic number of 1,215:

The delegate picture on the Democratic side is even more lopsided. No candidate besides Mr. Biden has secured any delegates. There are two "uncommitted" delegates, based on the results of a protest campaign in Michigan. Tuesday's results also showed "uncommitted" surpassing the threshold needed to secure delegates in Minnesota, but the state party said results likely wouldn't be finalized Tuesday night.

Haley campaign cheers Vermont primary win

A spokesperson for Haley's presidential campaign said she is "honored" to have won support from millions of voters from the states that held their GOP contests on Super Tuesday. The spokesperson noted that Haley's win in Vermont makes her the first Republican woman in history to win two presidential primary elections, coming after her victory in the D.C. Republican race.

"Unity is not achieved by simply claiming 'we're united,'" the spokesperson said. "Today, in state after state, there remains a large block of Republican primary voters who are expressing deep concerns about Donald Trump. That is not the unity our party needs for success. Addressing those voters' concerns will make the Republican Party and America better."

Schiff and Garvey advance in California Senate primary

Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff and Republican Steve Garvey will advance in California's Senate primary , CBS News projects.

As the top two vote-getters in the state's "jungle" primary, Schiff and Garvey will face-off in the November general election to fill the seat of the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Feinstein died in September .

Haley wins Vermont primary, landing her first Super Tuesday victory

Nikki Haley, Trump's only Republican competitor, secured her first win of Super Tuesday in Vermont, where CBS News projects she will defeat the former president in the Republican primary.

Vermont has 17 GOP delegates at stake. If Haley wins at least 50% of the statewide vote, she'll be awarded all of the delegates. Otherwise, they are allotted proportionally.

The state's open primary gave Haley a good shot at a win. While Trump won the Vermont GOP primary in 2016, former Ohio Gov. John Kasich was close behind him.

Haley's victory in Vermont is her second of the 2024 campaign — she won the District of Columbia's GOP contest . The result of the race in the nation's capital made history, with Haley becoming the first woman to win a Republican primary.

Trump celebrates Super Tuesday victories: "This was an amazing night"

Trump spoke to a crowd of supporters gathered at Mar-a-Lago, touting his dominant performance on Super Tuesday and calling it "an amazing night."

"They call it Super Tuesday for a reason," he said, before launching a stream of criticism against the U.S. under Mr. Biden's leadership.

By the time he took the stage, Trump had won a majority of states voting on Super Tuesday. Results in three states in the West — Alaska, California and Utah — remained outstanding.

"This has been a day we've been waiting for," Trump said, adding that a likely rematch between him and Mr. Biden on Nov. 5 "is going to go down as the single most important day in the history of our country."

Meanwhile, Haley had pulled ahead of Trump in Vermont. CBS News has now characterized that race as "lean Haley." Trump didn't mention Haley in his remarks.

Biden on Super Tuesday results: Trump is "determined to destroy our democracy"

As results continued to trickle in Tuesday night, Mr. Biden said they "leave the American people with a clear choice."

"Are we going to keep moving forward or will we allow Donald Trump to drag us backwards into the chaos, division, and darkness that defined his term in office?" he said in a statement after he and Trump were projected to win a majority of the Super Tuesday states. (Polls are still open in some Western states.)

Mr. Biden, who is at the White House and not delivering public remarks, said in his statement that his likely general election opponent is "determined to destroy our democracy" and "driven by grievance and grift, focused on his own revenge and retribution, not the American people."

"My message to the country is this: Every generation of Americans will face a moment when it has to defend democracy. Stand up for our personal freedom. Stand up for the right to vote and our civil rights. To every Democrat, Republican, and independent who believes in a free and fair America: This is our moment. This is our fight. Together, we will win," he said.

In Minnesota, Biden wins Democratic primary and Trump wins GOP race

CBS News projects that in the Minnesota presidential primaries, Mr. Biden wins the Democratic contest and Trump wins the Republican election.

There are 39 GOP delegates at stake and 75 Democratic delegates.

Mr. Biden's win in Minnesota came amid an effort by some groups in the state to push Democratic voters to check the box for "uncommitted" to ramp up the pressure on the president to call for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza. Mr. Biden has faced criticism from some Arab-Americans for his stance on the war between Israel and Hamas.

A similar effort was mounted in Michigan last week, where more than 101,000 people, or 13% of the total ballots cast, voted "uncommitted" in the state's Democratic primary.

Colorado primary voters go for Trump and Biden

Colorado became the latest state where Trump wins the GOP primary and Mr. Biden is victorious in the Democratic primary, according to CBS News projections. Colorado has 37 GOP delegates and 72 Democratic delegates.

Colorado was at the center of the recent Supreme Court case over Trump's eligibility for the presidency. The justices ruled on Monday that the state could not remove him from the ballot using an obscure provision of the 14th Amendment, overruling a state court decision that found he is ineligible for the White House because of his actions surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
