Super Tuesday’s predictable outcome guarantees stark choice in November

Biden and Trump are each on their way to tie up respective nominations, as down-ballot races promise retributive runoffs

Super Tuesday brought few surprises in the presidential race: Joe Biden and Donald Trump won state after state, pushing their delegate totals closer to what they each need to secure their party's nomination.

Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and UN ambassador, did beat Trump in Vermont, her first state-level victory over the former president - and had previously won the District of Columbia - though she reportedly decided on Wednesday to drop out, with her team scheduling a press conference for the morning.
