The race for the nomination to the White House is on. Voters in 15 US states and the Samoa Islands will go to the polls today, Tuesday March 5, in what is being called Super Tuesday, the most important event in the American electoral calendar. About a third of the total delegates will be designated (865 Republican delegates, 1,420 Democrats), that is to say those who, during the summer party conventions, will choose the candidate of the two main parties who will face the presidential race. Two different electoral systems: majority for the GOP, proportional for the Democrats. Few surprises on the horizon: on the Democratic front, outgoing President Joe Biden is playing the game alone. On that of the Grand Old Party, Donald Trump does not seem to have any rivals. Nikki Haley managed to snatch victory in the primaries in Washington DC, considered by analysts to be perhaps the only chance for the former governor to surpass the entrepreneur. Even the legal investigations against him and the resulting economic losses have not slowed the former tycoon's progress. This is also demonstrated by the latest survey New York Times/Siena: If the candidates for the White House in November are current and former US presidents, 48% of Americans will vote for Trump.
