WASHINGTON—Out front and looking ahead, Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton hope to begin charting a final path toward the general election on Super Tuesday, a delegate-rich day of primary contests likely to reveal candidates’ strengths—and weaknesses—with a broad swath of American voters.
Elections were being held in a dozen states, from Vermont to Colorado, Alaska to American Samoa, and a host of locations in between.
Trump and Clinton entered Super Tuesday having each won three of four early voting contests. Strong showings for both on Tuesday could start putting the nominations out of reach for other contenders.
Even before the results started flowing in, Trump was calling for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, one of his chief rivals, to give up if he didn’t win anywhere on Tuesday.
“He has to get out,” he told Fox News. “He hasn’t won anything.”
