Super Tuesday is a specific Tuesday during the U.S. presidential primary season when 14 states (the number varies) hold their primary elections or caucuses on the same day. Currently, as of August 2023, the following states will hold their primaries on Super Tuesday 2024:
Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia.
The states participating in Super Tuesday vary from one election cycle to the next, and the date is not fixed. The aim of clustering numerous primaries on this day is often to increase the importance of the broader electorate in the nomination process, rather than allowing smaller states to wield disproportionate influence.
Candidates campaign extensively leading up to Super Tuesday, and the results can play a vital role in building or halting momentum for a particular candidate. A strong showing on Super Tuesday can substantially boost a campaign by demonstrating broad support across different regions of the country. Conversely, a weak performance may lead to losing momentum and result in candidates reassessing their campaigns. Typically, if a candidate doesn't place in the top three of their party on Super Tuesday, they drop out.
Super Tuesday has become a critical event in the U.S. political landscape, drawing significant media attention and often shaping the narrative of the presidential race. Its outcomes can clarify the likely nominees for each party, setting the stage for the following general election campaign.
