In the Super Tuesday primaries, Former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden emerged as clear frontrunners in their respective party races, signaling a step closer to finalizing the primary season ahead of their anticipated rematch this fall.
During Super Tuesday, both parties competed in the same states, with the exception of Iowa and Alaska.
