Super Tuesday was just that, President Donald Trump said March 5 following Republican Party primary elections in 16 different states – 15 of which he won.
“They call it Super Tuesday for a reason,” he said. “There’s never been anything so conclusive. This was an amazing night, an amazing day; it has been an incredible period of time.”
A handful of opponents were whittled down to one by Super Tuesday, and by Wednesday morning his only remaining opponent, Nikki Haley, suspended her campaign.
In a post on Truth social, Trump called for Haley’s supporters to unify under him and “join the greatest movement in the history of our nation.”
In Colorado, he won the Republican primary by 30 percentage points, taking victories in 57 of 64 counties and with half of those counties each giving him three-quarters of the vote.
“We’re going to win this election because we have no choice,” Trump said. “If we lose the election, we’re not going to have a country left.”
In celebratory comments, Trump pledged to restore the economy, reimplement policy to regain energy independence, pay down the national debt and “do things people haven’t thought was possible.”
With his final opponent defeated, Trump pledged: “We want to have unity and we’re going to have unity.”
On Truth social, he thanked Senate Leader Mitch McConnell for his support following Haley’s announcement and predicted Nov. 5, 2024, the date of the general election, “is going to go down as the single most important day in the history of our country. We’re going to take [America] and we’re going to make it the way it should be, and that is respected.”
