March 5 (US time) is "Super Tuesday", an important day for US presidential elections.
The term was first used in 1988 when Republican leaders in southern states decided to hold voting on the same day to give prestige to the candidate they supported.
Leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties later realized that holding early and a large number of party meetings and primaries would help voters determine which presidential candidate was the most promising for each party, thereby increasing solidarity and unity within the party before the presidential election in November. A good performance on “Super Tuesday” is often a strong “doping” dose for the election campaign of every presidential candidate.
Along with the attention paid to “Super Tuesday”, the US press also focused on issues that American voters are interested in. The results of a public opinion poll conducted by Gallup in February showed that more and more American adults believe that immigration is the most important issue facing the US at the present time. This was demonstrated when both leading candidates, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, visited the southern border of the US on February 29, in the context of the border and illegal immigration issues being a hot topic.
Next is strengthening the economy . According to a report recently released by the Pew Research Center, nearly 75% of Americans surveyed consider strengthening the economy to be a priority over any other policy goal. In addition, public opinion continues to have heated debates on another hot topic: the age of presidential candidates. The Hills newspaper said that, in fact, Americans increasingly tend to prefer older candidates and this fact has been evident through dozens of presidential elections.
In addition to the issues that American voters are concerned about, US authorities are also trying to detect and prevent potential threats to the upcoming November general election in this country, from voter manipulation, destructive violence to cyber attacks that threaten the legitimacy of the election... Although the official election day is still more than half a year away, the heat of this tense race can already be felt.
