This year’s Super Tuesday revealed a sharply divided Democratic Party, both statewide as well as nationally.
Here in California, Sen. Bernie Sanders won, but the margin was much closer than most anticipated. Former Vice President Joe Biden came in second, but dominated in most other states. Michael Bloomberg, who has since dropped out of the race and endorsed Biden, placed third. Sen. Elizabeth Warren came in a distant fourth place in a very disappointing day that marked the end of her dismal campaign.
The real winner on Tuesday, however, was President Trump. He claimed 833 delegates nationwide and over seven million votes throughout the primaries.
In Vermont and Minnesota, Trump’s totals beat every past incumbent’s total for the past four decades. In Colorado, Republican turnout for Trump was greater than the past three Republican primaries combined.
In Maine, he trumped every candidate since Ronald Reagan. In Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren’s home state, he broke similar records.
Enthusiasm could be seen for the president in red states, swing states, and even blue states, showing a united Republican Party that is highly anticipating the 2020 general election.
If Republicans can carry this enthusiasm into November, President Trump has good odds of being re-elected.
