Donald Trump nearly swept Nikki Haley last night on Super Tuesday, winning 14 out of 15 contests. While Haley did nab Vermont, she is also [reportedly]( [exiting]( the race. Trump’s rout sets the stage for a rematch with Joe Biden, who coasted against minimal Democratic competition, [American Samoa](, notwithstanding. His political resurgence “speaks not only to the cynicism and cravenness of the GOP,” as Eric Lutz [writes](, “but also to the dysfunction of this country’s politics.” Elsewhere, Caleb Ecarma [asks]( whether the party’s MAGA contingent will rally around Senator Rick Scott, who may be vying to replace Mitch McConnell as Senate Republican leader. Plus, Bess Levin [catches]( billionaire Mark Cuban saying he’d prefer even a moribund Biden over Trump in the presidential election. Thanks for reading.
