In a heated exchange ahead of Super Tuesday primaries, former President Donald Trump rejected Nikki Haley's assertion that she would be a stronger candidate against President Biden in the general election. As voters in 15 states and American Samoa prepare to cast their ballots, Trump brushed off Haley's claim during a phone interview with "Fox & Friends."

Calling it a lie, Trump confidently declared, "We are winning against Biden in every single poll, and everybody knows it." He dismissed Haley's argument that she would fare better against Biden, despite recent polls indicating her stronger performance. Highlighting his confidence, Trump predicted victory in all states on Super Tuesday, which carry a total of 854 delegates for the Republican nomination.

Haley, who has only secured one primary victory thus far, made her case during a campaign event on Monday. However, Trump rebuffed her claims, asserting that she was misrepresenting the facts. He pointed to multiple polls, including those conducted by the New York Times, that have consistently shown him leading the race against Biden. Trump's unwavering confidence suggests that he remains steadfast in his pursuit of the Republican presidential nomination.

The Super Tuesday contests, comprising 15 states and American Samoa, will play a significant role in solidifying Trump's hold on the nomination. The states participating are Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia. Additionally, American Samoa will hold a Democratic primary.

While the primary and caucus results will not be immediately announced for most states, the outcome of the Democratic contest in Iowa, which has been conducted through a mail-in vote over several weeks, will be revealed. Iowa Republicans had previously held their caucuses in mid-January.

With a substantial number of delegates at stake on Super Tuesday, the outcomes of these contests could greatly shape the trajectory of the presidential race. For the Democrats, a total of 1,420 delegates are up for grabs, while the Republicans are vying for 854 delegates, accounting for about 35% of the total delegates available throughout the primary process.

As the nation awaits the results of Super Tuesday, the clash between Trump and Haley underscores the intensity and competitiveness of the race, with each candidate vying for their respective party's nomination to challenge President Biden in the upcoming general election.
