Republican Nikki Haley doesn't have a good shot at the presidency. Her rival, former President Donald Trump, has won all previous primaries against her — and now Missouri. Super Tuesday will see if the former US ambassador stays in the game.
A few days before the so-called Super Tuesday, former US President Donald Trump scored another primary election victory in the state of Missouri. According to US broadcasters' standard projections, the Republican has won the Midwest state over his in-party rival Nikki Haley – the best she has won in all conservative primaries so far this year.
The 77-year-old right-wing populist is widening his lead in the Republican presidential race over the former US ambassador to the United Nations. Trump is now considered a certainty to win the national primaries and the Republican nomination for the November 5th presidential election.
Will Haley sweep?
The result could come next Tuesday: On Super Tuesday, Republicans will hold primaries in 15 states, including the most populous US states of California and Texas. Haley is expected to throw in the towel if he fails again on the day.
President Joe Biden's Republican and Democratic primaries run through early June. The Republican National Convention will be held July 15-18 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. According to a poll released Saturday, Trump has a good chance of defeating Biden in the fall presidential election. A New York Times poll found the former president at 48 percent and the current president at 43 percent.
