Trump expected to 'sweep' Super Tuesday, leave Haley farther behind

A political analyst predicts Donald Trump will keep up his momentum in the presidential primary, including the closely-watched Super Tuesday.

When all is said and done, more than one-third of the total delegates available in both the Republican and Democratic presidential primaries will be awarded on Super Tuesday, when 16 states and one U.S. territory hold presidential nominating contests.

Debbie Wuthnow, president of IVoterGuide, says the Tuesday primaries will be another big night for Trump.

"I'm expecting him to sweep,” she tells AFN. “I think that Nikki had her best chance with South Carolina and she came up short. I can't see another state where she would do better."

Haley on Sunday won the Republican primary in liberal Washington, D.C., making that win her first victory in the GOP primary.

Wuthnow also predicts there will be a lot more interest in congressional races, particularly in North Carolina, where newly-drawn congressional maps could help Republicans. There are currently 14 seats evenly split among Democrats and Republicans. 

"But this is the first election cycle that the new maps are in play,” she advises. “And because of the way that those districts are drawn, the odds are that instead of being a 7-7 balanced representation, it's probably going to be 10 or 11 Republicans that are elected in North Carolina”
