Here's what to expect from the GOP Primaries
In the GOP (Grand Old Party) aka Republican primaries, Donald Trump is the clear frontrunner. As of now, Indian-American Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is trailing far behind her rival Trump.
To clinch the Republican nomination, a candidate must secure a minimum of 1,215 delegates out of the overall 2,429. Haley has 43 delegates and needs another 1,172. On the other hand, Trump already has 273 (230 more than Haley) delegates and needs 942.
As per predictions, Trump is set to win a significant number of delegates in Super Tuesday. As per Politico, "while he won't get there (to 942) on Super Tuesday alone, he'll be a lot closer when the night ends."
