Super Tuesday is going on.
Primary voters head to the polls in more than a dozen states. After the votes are counted, former President Donald Trump could secure enough delegates to secure the Republican nomination over former US Ambassador Nikki Haley.
“It's safe to say Trump is favored in every state, but there are four states where Haley could probably make a breakthrough,” said Jeffrey Skelly, senior election analyst at FiveThirtyEight and ABC News. “Northeast states could be Haley's best chance.”
The four states Haley is targeting are Massachusetts, Vermont, Virginia and Colorado, Skelly told the Wisconsin Morning News on Tuesday.
If Trump wins the nomination, will Haley's supporters vote for him?
“People who consider themselves Republicans vote overwhelmingly for Trump,” Skelly explained. “It is likely that 25% of Republicans who vote for Haley will return to vote for Trump.”
“Party identity is a powerful force.”
