Super Tuesday Solidifies Unpopular Biden-Trump Rematch
Summary from the AllSides News Team
With Super Tuesday in the past and Nikki Haley out of the race, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are firmly set to enter a general election rematch that most Americans didn’t want.
The Details: The events of Super Tuesday all but solidified the 2024 presidential ballot and effectively began the general election cycle. On Wednesday, Trump criticized Haley and invited her supporters to join him. On the Democratic front, Biden’s campaign ramped up attacks on Trump, engaging a strategy of going for Trump’s “jugular.”
For Context: Attention has now turned to No Labels, a centrist group that has said it would back a third-party alternative in the event of a Biden-Trump rematch. Following Super Tuesday, they plan to hold a meeting on Friday to discuss their 2024 project.
How The Media Covered It: Coverage of Super Tuesday’s results focused on a wide range of angles, including No Labels, roughly 350,000 “uncommitted” Democratic protest votes over Gaza, Trump’s shifting support within the GOP, and Democrats “beginning to hit the panic button.” Right-rated outlets seemed to cover the anti-Biden protest votes more often, but coverage reviewed by AllSides generally appeared to lack a clear partisan split.

The 2024 presidential ballot is all but set as a rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, with time running out for any viable third-party candidate to make their entrance into the race.
That increases pressure on the prominent No Labels group, which has long viewed Super Tuesday as the date at which it will decide on whether to launch a ticket.
No Labels is set to hold its next delegate meeting on Friday afternoon, after which the group is likely to announce a decision on its next steps. The meeting is expected...
