President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump were the big winners on Super Tuesday, where Heartland states like Tennessee, Minnesota and Oklahoma were among the 15 states to hold their primary elections.

Biden routinely took more than 80% of the vote in nearly every state on Tuesday. It was a different story for Trump, who saw votes taken away from him by supporters of former South Carolina Gov. Nikkie Haley. Haley was notably able to collect a significant portion of votes in swing states like Michigan (26.6%), Virginia (34.8%) and Minnesota (28.8%). Although these votes were not nearly enough to make a difference in this primary, the number of anti-Trump votes calls into question where those voters will fall in the general election this November.

Exit poll data from North Carolina and Virginia suggested that more than half of the Republican primary voters from each state are not part of the “MAGA” movement. In Virginia, 60% of Haley voters also said they cast their vote to oppose Trump. And 78% of Haley supporters in North Carolina — where Haley collected 249,000 votes — said they would not commit to a candidate for the general election.

Haley dropped out of the presidential race early Wednesday morning, where she expressed her desire for the Republican Party to unite, but she did not give Trump an endorsement.

“It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him, and I hope he does that,” Haley said. “At its best, politics is about bringing people into your cause, not turning them away. And our conservative cause badly needs more people. This is now his time for choosing.”

Trump lambasted Haley in a Truth Social post Wednesday morning before urging her voters to join his campaign. Trump falsely claimed that “almost 50% of her money came from Radical Left Democrats.” Biden also made a proclamation to Haley voters in a statement.

More Heartland states are scheduled to hold their primary elections in March, including Illinois, Kansas, Ohio and Missouri.
