Today’s Headlines: Yesterday marked Super Tuesday, with voters in 15 states and 1 territory casting ballots in primary elections. Both Trump and Biden secured wins in various states, including Arkansas, Texas, and North Carolina. Notably, the Republican presidential primary in Vermont saw Nikki Haley's debut. However, the most surprising outcome occurred in American Samoa's Democratic primary, where Jason Palmer defeated President Biden with only 91 votes. Elsewhere, California and Texas witnessed significant down-ballot races, with Adam Schiff and Steve Garvey advancing in California's senate primary and Colin Allred emerging as Ted Cruz's opponent in Texas. In North Carolina, controversial figure Mark Robinson secured the Republican gubernatorial nomination. Additionally, Senator Bob Menendez faced new charges of obstruction of justice, while Senator Kyrsten Sinema announced she won't seek re-election. Congress introduced bipartisan legislation targeting ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, and a study from Australia highlighted the detrimental effects of screen time on toddlers' language development.
