A total of 16 primary elections will be held in 15 states and one region for Democrats, and 15 primaries in 15 states will be held for Republicans, and 1,648 delegates will be appointed to the Democratic National Convention and 865 delegates to the Republican National Convention.

The candidates of the Republican Party in the upcoming elections are the former US president "Donald Trump" and the former US ambassador to the United Nations "Nikki Haley". One of these two people will compete in the presidential elections with the current president and the likely candidate of the Democratic Party, Joe Biden.

The next US presidential election will be held in a very different political atmosphere. Many American citizens and political officials demanded that Donald Trump's supporters attack the Congress building on January 6, 2021 and that Trump be banned from participating in this election, citing Article 14 of the American Constitution, but former president Donald Trump was allowed to participate in this election.

Even the US Supreme Court unanimously overturned the Colorado court decision against Trump and allowed the former president of the United States to participate in the presidential primaries in this state. The Colorado Supreme Court had previously announced, in a controversial decision, that Donald Trump's candidacy in the 2024 elections was banned because it was unconstitutional.

However, U.S. Federal Supreme Court justices declared that they did not allow Colorado to bar Trump from primary voting in the state under the 14th Amendment amendment clause. An additional paragraph of Article 14 prohibits rebels from holding elected positions.

Trump reacted immediately after this decision was announced and wrote "A great victory for America" ​​on his social media page.

As the presidential election race moves towards Big Tuesday, Trump appears to be in better shape and could maintain his lead over Nikki Haley. In recent weeks, Trump's supporters have put a lot of pressure on Haley to announce her withdrawal; However, Haley announced that she would remain in the race until the Republican National Convention in July.

At his election rallies, Trump promised to improve the state of the American economy, deport immigrants and increase Europe's share of the NATO budget. He also harshly criticized Joe Biden's performance and considered the current American president's policies a danger that brings the world closer to the third world war.

Despite this, Trump also has very serious opponents. Many American citizens think Trump is corrupt and a liar. In addition, for many citizens, the issue of the attack on the US Congress on January 6, 2021 is considered a dark point in the Trump case.

On the other hand, there are many political problems that weaken the position of the president and candidate of the Democratic Party, "Joe Biden". The Gaza war, American support for Israel, and the killing of Palestinians have led many American citizens to view Biden as complicit in Israel's crimes.

The latest results of a Wall Street Journal poll show that most Americans are dissatisfied with Joe Biden's performance in the Gaza war and believe that the Zionist regime overreacted to the Al-Aqsa Flood operation on October 7. This survey showed that the American public increasingly stands with the Palestinians in Gaza and the civilians who lost their homes and were displaced as a result of Zionist attacks. They also announced that they would not vote for Biden.

However, it is not yet known whether the next owner of the White House will be the current US president or a former US president.
