Editorial: La Vanguardia

• This year's Super Tuesday in the United States has been the least disputed in history, paving the way for Donald Trump and Joe Biden to secure the nomination.
• Trump had a crushing victory over Nikki Haley, who withdrew from the electoral race without explicitly supporting Trump.
• The challenge for Trump is to unite the Republican Party and win the backing of moderate Republicans and independent voters.
• Biden dominated electorally despite the protest vote in some states over his support for Israel.
• Biden's main concern now will be to manage the response of his own voters to the Gaza war, the migration crisis and inflation.
• Although mathematically Super Tuesday does not guarantee the nomination to either of them, the remaining primaries are a mere formality.

Conclusion: The electoral race is decided unless an unforeseen event occurs. Both candidates have a long-standing record and are elderly - Biden is 81 years old and Trump will be 78 - which becomes a challenge to attract American voters.
