Trump's challenger, former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, blocked him from a clean sweep of victories, winning the Republican party's primary election in Vermont. | US media networks projected that former US President Donald Trump won the first 12 primary elections, as results came in from the 15 Super Tuesday states in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia were all called by US media networks for Trump, who expressed thanks on his Truth Social site as counts continued in the other Super Tuesday states across the country. ● Trump's Super Tuesday victories included Maine and Colorado, the two states alongside Illinois that had sought to keep him off the ballot over his push to overturn the 2020 election and the assault on the US Capitol that he was impeached for inciting. ● The Supreme Court rejected the expulsion effort on Monday, clearing the path for Trump's participation in every state. ● Trump described the results as "an amazing night" as he closes in on becoming the party's nominee.
