SUPER Tuesday is well underway as Donald Trump dominates the first primary results.

President Joe Biden will likely secure the Democrat nomination. Biden has already won Iowa, Vermont, Virginia, North Carolina, Maine, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Arkansas.

All eyes are on the Republican primary as former Governor Nikki Haley is hoping to pull off a last-ditch effort to take on former President Donald Trump.

Trump is the clear frontrunner and has already won the Republican presidential primaries in Colorado, North Carolina, Maine, Oklahoma, Virginia, Tennessee, Texas, and Arkansas.

However, Haley is nowhere near giving up as she urged social media users on X, formerly Twitter, to cast their votes.

“There’s still time to make your voice heard!” she shared at 7 pm ET, as polls closed in Virginia and Vermont.

“Most polls in the east and central time zones are still open. Get out and vote!”
