of the states that voted yesterday. nikki haley's lone win came in vermont, her second victory of the 2024 campaign. the former president has now been awarded over 900 delegates and could clinch the republican nomination as early as next week. he looked towards the general election in a speech at mar-a-lago last night, saying november 5th is right around the corner. on the democratic side, president joe biden won every super tuesday primary. but in minnesota, a sizeable number voted uncommitted in protest of biden's handling of the israel-hamas war. for more, download the cbs news app on your cell phone or connected tv. i'm carissa lawson, cbs news, new york. it's wednesday, march 6th, 2024. this is "cbs news mornings." a not-so super tuesday. president biden and former president trump dominate the vote sweeping nearly all their

primaries and clearing the path for a november rematch. the key takeaways, the protest vote, and little excitement. good morning, and good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. super tuesday brought few surprises. nikki haley putting up a fight but proving to be no match for donald trump as he continues his march to the gop presidential nomination. the former president won almost all the republican contests with haley taking vermont. trump could secure the number needed to clinch the nomination by next week. on the democratic side, president biden won by huge margins without facing any significant challengers. and while he faces a lack of enthusiasm from some voters choosing uncommitted instead of incumbent. or the incumbent rather. skyler henry is joining us now from the nation's capitol with a breakdown on how it all played out. good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you. speaking of that delegate count,

the former president appears to be steamrolling ahead, especially after these projected wins in delegate-rich states like texas and california. to your point about president biden, though he performed well yesterday, he still has his work cut out for him in terms of getting voters enthused about the part of a second term. >> this is a big one. >> reporter: a big night for former president donald trump and president joe biden on super tuesday with major wins in several states. the two frontrunners already shifting focus to a likely general election rematch. >> our poll numbers are so much higher than joe biden's. he's the worst president in the history of our country. >> reporter: in a statement, president biden described trump as, quote, driven by grievance and grift and determined to destroy our democracy. nikki haley picked up a projected win in vermont, though still not enough to put a dent in trump's massive lead. according to cbs news exits polls, immigration and the economy were top issues for gop voters.

>> i'm going to vote for anybody who says they're closing the border. >> reporter: biden again faced opposition from some voters over his handling of the israel-hamas war with tens of thousands in minnesota casting a protest vote of uncommitted. >> we did it so we can have a cease-fire now. >> reporter: and as this likely rematch continues to take shape, both of these frontrunners will be ramping up on the campaign trail. they will be making steps in -- stops in several battleground states including georgia later this week. >> before i let you go, i got to ask about one surprise last night. president biden lost the primary in the territory of american samoa to a little-known candidate. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: yeah, this jason ballmer from right up the road in baltimore here. 52 years old, businessman, entrepreneur, and in this case a politicians. -- a politician. here the thing about american samoa -- he'd never even been to the territory prior to the caucus, doing most of his work

through zoom town halls. now of the 91 votes in the territory he earned 50, president biden earned 41. this will hardly be any impact in terms of president biden's march toward securing the party's nomination, but is absolutely an interesting sort of twist after a not-so-surprising super tuesday, as you pointed yesterday. >> i've got do more reading on that, i find it fascinating. thank you so much. so in the race for california senate, cbs news is projecting that democratic congressman adam schiff and former major league baseball player republican steve garvey will advance to face each other in november. schiff and garvey were the top two vote-getters in yesterday's open primary for the late dianne feinstein's seat. the senator, rather. candidates regardless of parties compete. democratic representatives katie porter and barbara lee failed to advance. in texas cbs news is projecting that republican senator ted cruz will square off
