On Saturday, Donald Trump held rallies in both North Carolina and Virginia to rally his supporters before Super Tuesday.

The ex-leader tested out different nicknames and criticized President Joe Biden’s immigration policies while winning three competitions in Missouri, Michigan, and Idaho on Saturday. He addressed supporters in Greensboro and Richmond.

Donald Trump emerged victorious in both the Michigan and Idaho caucuses for the Republican party, claiming all 71 available delegates. With his sights set on securing the Republican presidential nomination, Trump continues to gain ground over his only remaining competition, Nikki Haley, despite facing ongoing legal challenges.

Last Friday, Judge Aileen Cannon in Florida decided not to schedule a trial date for the criminal case involving Mr. Trump’s purported mishandling of classified materials at Mar-a-Lago.

Judge Cannon called the prosecution’s request to begin the trial in July “unrealistic”, given the potential for overlap with Mr Trump’s other criminal case, the New York hush-money trial – scheduled for six weeks from 25 March.

In Georgia, Judge Scott McAfee stated that he requires a two-week period to decide whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will be removed from Mr. Trump’s case involving election interference due to a romantic relationship between the two leading prosecutors.

The number of people participating in the 2012 Idaho caucus was greater than the number in the current one.

The Missouri caucuses declared Mr. Trump as the winner by the Associated Press at 12:40pm on Saturday. Following his victory of all delegates at the Michigan convention caucuses, the Idaho race was declared by the news agency at 6:58pm.

Idaho and Missouri both opted to replace their Republican primaries with caucuses, effectively giving a small group of party members control over the state nominations.

In 2012, Idaho conducted caucuses with a low turnout of only 45,000 participants, which accounted for 20% of the registered Republican population in the state. This past Saturday, there were even fewer votes cast, with less than 40,000 recorded.

Some people may have faced timing conflicts due to the different time zones for Idaho, located in both the Mountain and Pacific regions, holding its caucuses at either 12:30pm or 1:30pm. Similarly, Missouri, located in the Central region, held its caucuses at 10am according to local time.

The Trump campaign seems to have taken lessons from their past errors.

On Saturday, all three contests were caucuses, a type of voting process that takes longer and involves more direct involvement from voters. This could potentially work in favor of Mr. Trump, who has a large number of passionate supporters.

Caucuses typically have lower participation rates compared to primaries because voters must arrive at a designated time and stay for a longer period to participate in the more involved process, as opposed to simply casting a ballot in a primary election.

“Caucuses are designed for things to happen in the room on caucus night — there’s a moment in time where a representative from each campaign stands up and makes their pitch — they get a couple of minutes to do it,” she said, noting the importance of “person-to-person politicking at the last possible moment”.

“If one is not familiar with securing votes, failing to have their name on the ballot can result in a loss,” she stated during the aforementioned period.

The Trump campaign seems to have taken lessons from their past experiences and has performed well, emerging victorious in all of the contests thus far, including caucuses and primaries.

When is Super Tuesday, which states will be involved, and how many delegates are up for grabs?

On the first Tuesday of next month, Super Tuesday will take place as the most significant day of the US presidential nomination process. It is expected to greatly impact the Republican and Democratic races, although it may not live up to the hype.

All except for one of his opponents have dropped out, leaving only the well-financed but under-performing former UN ambassador Nikki Haley remaining in the race.

It is uncertain whether she will make it to Super Tuesday, despite her promise to do so. The upcoming Republican primary in her home state of South Carolina could result in a disappointing outcome for the former governor, especially given recent polls. This would be a significant setback, particularly considering that she received fewer votes than the “none of these candidates” option on Nevada’s voting papers.

“Would it be possible to set the election for next Tuesday?” asked a overly confident Mr. Trump while boasting in Las Vegas following the outcome.

“That is my sole desire. I wish to schedule the election for the upcoming Tuesday.”

In the event that Ms. Haley manages to secure an unexpected win in South Carolina on February 24th or Michigan on February 27th, the dynamics of Super Tuesday will be altered and we may witness a captivating evening.

The Democratic primary race appears to heavily favor President Joe Biden, who is expected to secure the nomination for his party once again despite concerns about his age and consistently low approval ratings.

What is the level of cleanliness of the dirt on Hunter Biden? A prominent Republican informant is facing charges of deceiving the FBI?

Alexander Smirnov was portrayed by the Republican party as one of the FBI’s most reliable sources, providing a “very believable” testimony regarding blatant government corruption by Joe Biden that served as a cornerstone of the House’s impeachment inquiry against the Democratic leader.

In the previous month, the code underwent significant modifications.

Smirnov, 43, finds himself charged with lying to the FBI, accused of fabricating a tale of bribery and espionage involving then-Vice President Biden and the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, and he has told officials he has Russian intelligence contacts.

The GOP investigation has been significantly affected.

Based on interviews and research of public documents, it appears that this was not Smirnov’s initial experience as a fabricator, according to government claims.

The article portrays a businessman who managed multiple questionable shell companies, associated with individuals accused of deceit, and proudly claimed connections to the FBI. This situation serves as a warning against the Republican party’s inclination to rely on unproven facts in their attempt to challenge Biden, as well as the dangers of the FBI using informants who may have hidden agendas.

“How is it possible that no one in America, out of the vastness of the universe, discovered for so long that this individual is a deceitful and dishonest person? How was this individual able to reach Congress?” exclaimed Yossi Attia, a businessman from Los Angeles who has had dealings with Smirnov and was previously involved in a penny stock company where Smirnov held a significant share.

So far, Trump has emerged as the winner in all of the Republican primaries.

Donald Trump has emerged victorious in all of the Republican primary elections thus far. Nikki Haley is currently the final contender left after Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy withdrew in January following the Iowa caucuses.

Some recent surveys show that the previous leader is still favored among Republican supporters and is currently ahead of President Joe Biden in certain key states.

On the other hand, several surveys indicate that a significant portion of Republicans and independent voters in America will not vote for Mr. Trump in the approaching November election.

Donald Trump continues his streak of winning by securing victories in Idaho and Michigan, following his early win in Missouri.

Saturday’s competitions were the final ones before Super Tuesday, with Nikki Haley hoping to win at least one state in order to justify staying in the primaries and offering an alternative choice for voters.

It seems that there is an unspoken suggestion that some people, including Ms. Haley, think that Mr. Trump, who is currently facing 91 felony charges, might still withdraw from the race.

On 5 March, voters will head to the polls in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia. The voting wave accounts for more than a third of delegates ahead of the Republican National Convention in July.

This Tuesday, Ms Haley sees a chance to invigorate her campaign, while Mr Trump views it as an opportunity to secure a clear lead. Despite trailing in the polls, Ms Haley’s campaign remains hopeful about winning states with large suburban populations.

According to a source affiliated with Ms. Haley’s super PAC, states such as Vermont, Utah, and Virginia offer a demographic advantage and could potentially be won. This comment was made last week after Ms. Haley’s loss in South Carolina.

The lawyer stated that Fani Willis was targeted with baseless accusations, rumors and insinuations during a crucial court hearing.

Alex Woodward observed the proceedings on Friday and submitted this report.

Attorneys representing Donald Trump and his fellow defendants in a complex legal case involving election meddling in Georgia have been charged with utilizing scandalous rumors, hearsay, and suggestive statements in an attempt to “shame and intimidate” the prosecuting attorney in charge of their case.

Final statements were given on Friday in a crucial set of hearings to decide if Fani Willis should be removed from overseeing the criminal cases against the ex-president and his associates for their efforts to invalidate Georgia’s 2020 election outcome.
