Biden and Trump move closer to a November rematch after Super Tuesday victories
LA TimesPresident Biden and former President Trump were on the ballot in 16 states and one U.S. territory on Super Tuesday. President Biden and former President Trump romped to victories in most states on Super Tuesday, all but cementing a November rematch and increasing pressure on the former president’s last major rival, Nikki Haley, to leave the Republican race. “We have to beat Biden — he is the worst president in history,” Trump said Tuesday on the “Fox & Friends” cable morning show. LaBolt also drew a contrast to Trump’s priorities, which he described as “rewarding billionaires and corporations with tax breaks, taking away rights and freedoms, and undermining our democracy.” Biden’s campaign called attention to Trump’s provocative statements evoking Adolf Hitler, in which he said that immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of the nation and suggested that he would begin acting as a dictator on his first day back in the White House. Mary Veroneau, a 69-year-old old Maine Democrat, also voted for Biden, but said, “You’d honestly want a younger candidate” than either the president or the former president.
