Update on the number of delegates that potential candidates received after the Super Tuesday election, as of 3:53 a.m. on March 6 (Vietnam time). |
Up to this point, Mr. Donald Trump has won in 11 states and lost in 1 state, while incumbent US President Joe Biden has won in 13 states and lost in one territory, in the Super Tuesday election on March 5 alone.

Incumbent US President Joe Biden won in California, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Minnesota, Arkansas, Colorado, Alabama, Texas, Maine, Vermont, Virginia, Iowa, Utah.
Notably, for the Republican Party, Mr. Trump "lost completely" to his opponent Nikki Haley in the state of Vermont. This was also the first victory for former US Ambassador to the United Nations Haley on Super Tuesday this year.
Meanwhile, on the Democratic side, incumbent US President Joe Biden unexpectedly lost in the Samoan territory to little-known Democratic candidate, businessman Jason Palmer.
However, with a winning streak, according to an update from CBS News , former US President Donald Trump has won a total of 1,053 delegate votes, approaching the 1,215 delegate votes needed to become the Republican Party's candidate for President.
Meanwhile, incumbent US President Joe Biden won a total of 1,527 delegates, also getting closer to the 1,968 delegates needed to become the Democratic Party's representative for President.
The victories on Super Tuesday further reinforce the view of observers that the US presidential election in November will be a rematch between incumbent President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump.
The Republican Party has 2,429 national delegates and a candidate needs to win 1,215 delegates (a majority of more than 50%) to become the presidential nominee. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party has 3,934 national delegates and its candidate needs to receive 1,968 votes.
Super Tuesday is the most important milestone of the US primary election process when voters in many states vote on the same day.
On Super Tuesday this year (March 5, US time), millions of American voters went to the polls to vote in primaries and party conventions in 15 states and the Samoa territory for the Republican Party and 16 states for the Democratic Party.
Since 1988, every politician who won the Super Tuesday primaries has subsequently been elected their party's presidential nominee.
