Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen endorsed growing calls on the right for his state to stop splitting its electoral college votes, which resulted in one vote going to President Joe Biden in 2020. The bill would have to quickly move through the state legislature to become law before this year’s election.

Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Kansas and Ohio are holding presidential primaries on Tuesday, and we can all guess who will win. (One exception: Florida is not holding a Democratic presidential primary and is awarding its delegates to President Joe Biden.) However, there will still be races to watch, including the Ohio Republican primary for Senate and California’s special election to replace Kevin McCarthy.

Rep. Lauren Boebert does not plan to resign and run in a special election to replace Rep. Ken Buck. His early retirement put her in an odd spot: She’s aiming to take over his district, but running in the special election would mean her current seat could go to a Democrat. When asked whether he thought about how his decision would affect Boebert, Buck told NOTUS’ Haley Byrd Wilt: “No, I didn’t consider that.”

Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden are going to win a lot of states tonight. Biden, the incumbent, is running with barely any opposition, and Trump, the pseudo-incumbent, essentially locked up his party’s nomination weeks ago. But Virginia being low drama for Trump shows just how far ahead he is in his race with Nikki Haley.

Ahead of Super Tuesday, Nikki Haley notched her first primary win in Washington, D.C., on Sunday. Trump said on Truth Social he “purposely stayed away from the D.C. Vote because it is the ‘Swamp,’” and won the Michigan, Missouri and Idaho caucuses over the weekend.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski endorsed Haley for president, saying in a statement, “America needs someone with the right values, vigor and judgment” to be the next president. Haley has not yet won a state GOP primary, and might not before Trump wraps up the nomination. Murkowski is one of the few remaining Republican senators who voted to convict Trump in his 2021 impeachment trial.

Even though Biden and Trump both easily won their respective primaries in Michigan last night, their campaigns have some cause for concern. Biden’s might be the noisiest, with more than 100,000 votes going to “uncommitted.” But Trump lost even more votes to Nikki Haley, showing the potential limits of his support.

No surprises in the toplines of the Michigan primaries: Biden and Trump both won, the AP projected right as the final polls closed. But there’s still drama on the Democratic side, where the “uncommitted” vote is exceeding organizers’ public expectations with the count still underway.

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump both plan to visit the southern border in Texas on Thursday. Biden plans to discuss the need for border legislation in Brownsville, while Trump will hammer Biden on his immigration policy in Eagle Pass, a key site in the fight between Texas and the feds on border policy. The Trump campaign called Biden’s trip an “Attempt to Chase President Trump to the Southern Border.”

In light of the Alabama Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos are “children” and those who destroy them could be held liable — a decision that has already paused fertility treatments in parts of the state — Haley would not commit to a stance on in vitro fertilization. “Embryos, to me, are babies,” she told NBC News ahead of the South Carolina Republican primary. “I think we have to have those conversations,” Haley continued when asked about the effect such a ruling could have on fertility treatments.

Meanwhile, the Trump campaign released a memo with its case for why Haley should drop out, framing her as a “wailing loser hell-bent on an alternative reality and refusing to come to grips with her imminent political mortality.”

Although Joe Manchin hasn’t said he’s running for president, he offered some ideas of who he might pick as a running mate. “I’d ask Mitt Romney. Maybe Rob Portman,” he said at an event in Ohio after a question from the moderator. The suspense of whether Manchin will make a third-party bid should be over soon: “Super Tuesday pretty much would be a deadline that tells you where you are,” he said.

Tom Suozzi won Tuesday’s special election in New York’s 3rd Congressional District, beating out Republican Mazi Pilip to replace ex-Rep. George Santos.

Joe Biden on Tuesday forcefully condemned Donald Trump’s comments on abandoning NATO: “No other president in our history has ever bowed down to a Russian dictator. Let me say this as clearly as I can: I never will. For God’s sake it’s dumb, it’s shameful, it’s dangerous. It’s un-American.”

Tuesday night’s Nevada GOP presidential primary didn’t really count (long story, but there’s a caucus coming tomorrow which will award delegates). Trump wasn’t even running in it. But Haley still lost by more than 30 points in what was functionally an uncontested race to “none of these candidates.”

And no, not even if he’s the Republican nominee for president. “I do not at this point,” the Maine Republican told The Hill when asked if she sees herself endorsing Trump down the line. Collins was one of seven Senate Republicans who voted to convict Trump on impeachment charges related to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Notably, Collins hasn’t formally endorsed an alternative to Trump, but said she was happy to see Nikki Haley stay in the race.
