US Election
Trump and Biden sweep Super Tuesday, all but cementing a November election rematch
Not enough states will have voted until later this month for either to formally become the nominee for their respective parties.

Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate was packed for a victory party. “They call it Super Tuesday for a reason,” he told the crowd.
