Super Tuesday in the US on March 5, was a win-some-lose-some situation, for both the candidates and their voters. 

The trio - former US president and GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, alongside former UN ambassador Nikki Haley - faced a few run-ins that could determine what the November elections will look like. 

Here are the key takeaways and what you need to know.

Biden scored 14 out of 15 states, after having lost the small island territory of American Samoa, where entrepreneur Jason Palmer beat Biden with 51 to 40 votes.

Although Biden won Minnesota, he was met with approximately 20% “uncommitted” votes in protest of his support for "Israel’s" war on Gaza.

According to Edison Research, this rate is higher than the 13% recorded in Michigan last week.

In other states, "uncommitted" votes stood at 7.9% in Tennessee, 6% in Alabama, and 3.9% in Iowa, while in Massachusetts, where 84% of votes have been tallied, 9.4% chose “no preference".

Voters in 16 states are out to cast their ballots for the primaries ahead of the US #PresidentialElection at the end of this year in one of the most important days in the run-up to the election.

Haley loses home state

Concerning Trump, the frontrunner won 14 out of 15 states - among them California and Texas. Biden also scored a win in both states among Democratic voters.

Haley, the only GOP rival, beat Trump in the state of Vermont, and results show that college-educated suburban populations chose Haley over Trump. However, she did lose her home state of South Carolina to Trump as well. 

Super Tuesday was supposed to be the last real chance for Haley to overturn Trump's march toward becoming the party's nominee once again against Biden.

Despite his wins, Biden still faces fundamental obstacles such as extremely low approval ratings and being already the oldest US president in history.

To mark his victory, in a speech at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, Trump highlighted Biden's messy immigration policies and named him the "worst president" in history.
 
"Our cities are being overrun with migrant crime," he claimed. 

Trump, as well, had his share of voters' anger. In North Carolina, voters said they don't see Trump as fit to serve as president if he was convicted of a crime, but in Virginia, more than half said he does even if he was convicted.

Crisis resolution

This comes as Trump is scheduled for his first criminal trial on March 25 in New York for falsifying business records to cover hush money payments to an adult star during his 2016 presidential run.

He also faces separate and numerous federal and Georgia state charges for election interference and concealing classified documents after leaving office.

This year's elections likely mark the most heated the country has ever witnessed, due to considerations from certain states, namely Texas, to split away from the federation.

While Republicans have pointed fingers at Biden for his handling of the migrant crisis, Biden has attempted to deflect these criticisms by attributing the lack of progress to Congress's failure to support his proposed reforms.

Trump, on the other hand, maintains his staunch anti-immigration stance, which has long been a cornerstone of his political persona, and he has consistently pledged to tighten measures against border crossings from Mexico in his pursuit of a White House comeback.

Other issues have arisen due to Biden's pro-Israeli stance. In light of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, his policy has led to voters in several states voting "uncommitted".
