Why Biden and Trump could have a super Tuesday tomorrow one week after key day

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have the chance to secure their respective party’s nomination on Tuesday.
Trump needs the majority of the 161 delegates in Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi, and Washington to secure the Republican nomination. The polls in Mississippi and Georgia will close before those in Washington, but the 99 delegates the two states have won’t be enough for Trump: He’ll need Washington to push him over the edge.
It won’t be Nikki Haley (who suspended her campaign last week) who will challenge Trump’s chance of securing the nomination Tuesday, but rather Washington’s history with slow vote counting. In the 2022 primary race, only half of the vote had been tabulated by 1 a.m. EDT. Washington’s polls close hours after Georgia and Mississippi.
With Haley dropping out and Biden facing no major opposition after Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) dropped out of the race, Biden and Trump are expected to win the state.
