US President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump are poised to move much closer to winning their party’s nominations during the biggest day of the primary campaign, setting up a historic rematch that many voters would rather not endure.

Super Tuesday elections are being held in 16 states and one territory – from Alaska and California to Vermont and Virginia. Hundreds of delegates are at stake, the biggest haul for either party on any single day.
