Commitment 2024: Live results from Super Tuesday presidential primaries

More than one-third of the total delegates available in both the Republican and Democratic presidential primaries will be awarded on Super Tuesday , when 16 states and one U.S. territory hold presidential nominating contests.

I SUPER TUESDAY: LIVE RESULTS

On the Republican side, 854 of 2,429 will be at stake on Super Tuesday, which is traditionally the biggest day on the presidential primary calendar when it comes to the number of states holding presidential primaries and caucuses, as well as the number of delegates in play. Democrats will award 1,420 delegates, also more than one-third of those at stake in all. Nobody will lock up the nomination on Super Tuesday, but each party’s frontrunner can get pretty close.

Former President Donald Trump , who has won every presidential contest in which he’s appeared on the ballot and earned 122 delegates, needs 971 more to hit his “magic number” of 1,215. Once he receives that many, he’ll have won a majority of available delegates to the Republican convention this summer and will be considered the party’s presumptive nominee.

Supreme Court restores Trump to ballot, rejecting state attempts to ban him

The Supreme Court on Monday restored Donald Trump to 2024 presidential primary ballots, rejecting state attempts to hold the Republican former president accountable for the Capitol riot. The justices ruled a day before the Super Tuesday primaries that states, without action from Congress first, cannot invoke a post-Civil War constitutional provision to keep presidential candidates from appearing on ballots. The outcome ends efforts in Colorado, Illinois, Maine and elsewhere to kick Trump, the front-runner for his party’s nomination, off the ballot because of his attempts to undo his loss in the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden, culminating in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

Trump’s case was the first at the Supreme Court dealing with a provision of the 14th Amendment that was adopted after the Civil War to prevent former officeholders who “engaged in insurrection” from holding office again. Colorado’s Supreme Court, in a first-of-its-kind ruling, had decided that the provision, Section 3, could be applied to Trump, who that court found incited the Capitol attack. No court before had applied Section 3 to a presidential candidate. Some election observers have warned that a ruling requiring congressional action to implement Section 3 could leave the door open to a renewed fight over trying to use the provision to disqualify Trump in the event he wins the election. In one scenario, a Democratic-controlled Congress could try to reject certifying Trump’s election on Jan. 6, 2025, under the clause. The issue then could return to the court, possibly in the midst of a full-blown constitutional crisis.

Jury deliberating in trial of man accused of killing Officer Keona Holley

Deliberations are underway in the trial of a man accused of killing a police officer.Elliot Knox is charged with killing Justin Johnson and Baltimore City police officer Keona Holley in the early morning hours of Dec. 16, 2021. Both victims were shot multiple times about 90 minutes apart. Holley was shot while in her patrol car on Pennington Avenue in Curtis Bay. Johnson was shot six times in his back while sitting in his car on Lucia Avenue in Yale Heights. Prosecutors said security camera video, cellphone and DNA evidence put Knox and co-defendant Travon Shaw in the areas of the shootings. Another jury convicted Shaw in Johnson’s killing.

The jury got the case at around 2:15 p.m. Monday afternoon. During closing statements, the prosecutor told jurors, “This was a hit. This was targeted somehow. They knew where she was. They executed her in her car while she worked.”

He argued Knox was closest to Holley’s car and fired the shots. No motive was given.

JetBlue and Spirit Airlines Permanently Call Off $3.8 Billion Merger

The anticipated merger between JetBlue and Spirit Airlines has officially been called off, with both low-cost carriers deciding to scrap the $3.8 billion deal. This decision comes after a US judge blocked the merger two months ago, citing concerns that it would harm consumers by reducing competition in the airline industry.

JetBlue’s CEO Joanna G and Spirit’s CEO Ted Christie both expressed disappointment over the failed merger, acknowledging that regulatory obstacles prevented them from moving forward with the deal. The Biden Administration, which has been staunchly against airline mergers, argued that the merger would lead to increased ticket prices for consumers.

US Attorney General Merrick Garland praised the decision to cancel the merger, stating that it was “yet another victory for the Justice Department’s work on behalf of American consumers.” The Justice Department has been closely monitoring the airline industry and taking steps to prevent anticompetitive practices.

USPS warns not to use their blue mailboxes

When it comes to mailing letters, many people do it by dropping their envelopes in the United States Postal Service’s blue collection bins placed in neighborhoods across America. However, the USPS is now warning would-be mailers that those blue boxes might not be the safest option.

The Postal Service explained that unfortunately, the collection bins have become very attractive to thieves looking to steal identities or checks, especially at specific times and on specific days. The agency stated, “The biggest variable enticing these criminals to steal are customers depositing mail into blue collection boxes after the last collection of the day or during Sundays and federal holidays.”

To protect residents wanting to use their services, the USPS has some advice, stating, “If customers simply used retail service or inside wall drop slots to send their U.S. Mail, instead of depositing it to sit outside overnight or through the weekend, blue collection boxes would not be as enticing after business hours to mail thieves for identity theft and check-washing schemes.”
