face off

FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. IT’S SUPER TUESDAY. MORE THAN A DOZEN STATES HOLDING PRIMARIES AS DONALD TRUMP INCHES CLOSER TO HIS THIRD PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION. SUPER TUESDAY, TRADITIONALLY THE BIGGEST DAY NATIONWIDE FOR PRIMARY ELECTIONS AND CAUCUSES BEFORE THE OFFICIAL ELECTION DAY IN NOVEMBER. BUT THIS COMES AS THE SUPREME COURT JUST RULED IN ON FORMER

PRESIDENT TRUMP’S FAVOR. ABC’S IKE EJIOCHI WITH THE LATEST FROM WASHINGTON IN ON THIS SUPER TUESDAY. >> DONALD TRUMP APPEARS TO BE ON THE VERGE OF CLINCHING THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION FOR A THIRD TIME. >> WE COULD VERY WELL WIN EVERY STATE IN RECORD NUMBERS. >> TRUMP LEADING NIKKI HALEY BY

AT LEAST 37 POINTS IN EACH OF THE 15 STATES HOLDING PRIMARIES TUESDAY. IN A NEW INTERVIEW WITH HARD RIGHT ONLINE BROADCASTER RSBN, TRUMP, LOOKING AHEAD TO GENERAL ELECTION ISSUES, INCLUDING SECURITY ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER, WHERE PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM, PARTS UNKNOWN, COUNTRIES THAT YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF, LANGUAGES THAT NOBODY

IN THIS COUNTRY SPEAKS. AT A RALLY IN TEXAS MONDAY NIGHT, HALEY INSISTING SHE’S THE ONLY REPUBLICAN WHO CAN BEAT PRESIDENT BIDEN. >> HOW MUCH MORE LOSING DO WE HAVE TO DO BEFORE WE REALIZE MAYBE DONALD TRUMP IS THE PROBLEM? >> VOTERS ACROSS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM ATTENDING HALEY’S EVENT MONDAY NIGHT UNIFIED IN THEIR

STANCE AGAINST TRUMP. >> WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO TRUMP, I’M NEVER VOTING FOR HIM. I THINK THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE ARE JUST SIMPLY WANTING SOMETHING THAT’S MORE MODERATE AS OF NOW, IT REMAINS UNCLEAR WHAT HALEY WILL DO NEXT. >> SHE HAS NO PUBLIC EVENTS SCHEDULED FOR TODAY, AND IS

EXPECTED TO WATCH TONIGHT’S RESULTS PRIVATELY AT HOME. THE PRIMARIES COME AFTER THE SUPREME COURT UNANIMOUSLY RULED THAT INDIVIDUAL STATES CANNOT BAN TRUMP FROM THE PRESIDENTIAL BALLOT. COURTS IN THREE STATES COLORADO, ILLINOIS AND MAINE HAD RULED TRUMP SHOULD BE BANNED BECAUSE OF HIS ACTIONS SURROUNDING THE JANUARY 6TH CAPITOL RIOT, CITING THE 14TH

AMENDMENT, WHICH SAYS NO ONE WHO HAS TAKEN AN OATH TO SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION AND THEN ENGAGED IN INSURRECTION CAN HOLD PUBLIC OFFICE AFTERWARDS. THE COURT DID NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF WHETHER TRUMP ENGAGED IN INSURRECTION. PRESIDENT BIDEN’S CAMPAIGN MANAGER PAYING LITTLE ATTENTION TO THE SUPREME COURT RULING, TELLING MSNBC, OUR FOCUS SINCE

DAY ONE OF LAUNCHING THIS CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN TO BEAT DONALD TRUMP AT THE BALLOT BOX. NEXT UP FOR TRUMP AT THE SUPREME COURT ARGUMENTS NEXT MONTH ON WHETHER HE’S IMMUNE FROM CRIMINAL PROSECUTION
