On so-called Super Tuesday the American presidential primary campaign came to an effective end. The primary process, by which the two parties select their nominee for the general election, has yielded President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump as the respective Democrat and Republican candidates.

In past election cycles, Super Tuesday – the day during the presidential candidate process on which the most number of states hold a primary (this time 16 US states and one US territory) – has all but confirmed which candidates will invariably win their parties’ presidential nominations. This time it is even more assured (the only other significant Republican contender Nikki Haley has dropped out of the race as a result of the Super Tuesday results).
