The time has arrived.
On Tuesday, March 5, 2024, a total of 15 states and 16 contests are on the schedule specifically for the Republican Party. (I give Team Red more focus because they are the White House opposition party. The incumbent, Democratic-affiliated U.S. president Joe Biden, is positioned for re-nomination.)
The total delegates are 874. This is, according to Wikipedia, 36 percent of the 2,429 total delegates for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination of which 1,215 is sufficient for the nomination. (Note: The above “1257” number are for the total delegates still remaining after Super Tuesday.)
On this Super Tuesday are three of the nation’s Top 10 most-populous states: California, Texas, and North Carolina. Already in the books, as it was the first scheduled Top 10 state, is Michigan. (What to watch, from that result, is any further impact by “Uncommitted” votes on the Democratic side.)
On the 2024 Republican Party’s Super Tuesday schedule, as indicated above, are primaries in solid red. (This includes non-state District of Columbia.) Those in medium-light red are caucuses. (This includes non-state American Samoa.) Ones appearing in light red are the contests already completed.
It has been considered a foregone conclusion that the 2024 Republican presidential nomination is with Donald Trump. Well, that is…based on the history of the process of these primaries…that this was effectively achieved with his win with the January 23, 2024 primary in New Hampshire. (He has, so far, won nearly all contests which have played out. Ex-South Carolina governor Nikki Haley won the primary in District of Columbia.) The process is more about racking up the wins, for the delegates count, as Trump is en route to re-nomination.
If Trump wins every contest on the schedule this Tuesday, or nearly all, there will be no more blog topics specific to the 2024 scheduled primaries which will follow. There would be, realistically, no point.
