Celebrating the election results in remarks at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, Donald Trump told a group of supporters that "they call it Super Tuesday for a reason." With almost 1,050 delegates already secured, Trump may secure a majority of delegates the next week. (AFP photo)

Super Tuesday was a low-key day for Nikki Haley, who flew to South Carolina this evening after her campaign stop in Texas. By afternoon, the former UN ambassador was supposed to arrive in Charleston. Her primary objective for tonight's primaries, according to her, is to "remain competitive," but she hasn't been clear about what precisely that means. (AP photo)
