DONALD Trump branded Joe Biden the worst president in US history and didn't mention his Republican rival Nikki Haley as he reveled in his Super Tuesday success in a victory speech.

Trump stormed to victory in more than a dozen Republican contests and his diehard supporters accused Haley of hiding out at home as she suffered a landslide defeat.

Trump was met with cheers from a roaring crowd of Republican attendees at his watch party held in Mar-a-Lago.

The former president slammed Biden throughout his address.

He claimed that the commander-in-chief had destroyed what Trump had built during his term in office.

Trump once again vowed to take the country back.

“We're gonna win this election because we have no choice,” he said.

“If we lose this election, we're not going to have a country left.”

He labeled Biden “the worst president in the history of our country."

Trump's victory lap came as he continued to storm to the Republican Party's presidential nomination.

A total of 1,215 delegates are needed to clinch the nomination and Trump has racked up almost 1,000 delegates.

Haley is languishing behind with 89 delegates and only scored one win on Super Tuesday.

Vermont has been called for Haley but only nine of the state's 17 delegates have been added to her column so far.

Trump scored victories in 14 states -  Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Oklahoma, Virginia, Tennessee, Texas, Minnesota, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Alabama, Arkansas, California, and Utah.

Utah was the final state to call its Republican race.

In the Golden State, Trump's expected margin of victory will be around 50 percentage points.

He has clinched all 169 of the state's delegates that were up for grabs.

Trump is set for a huge victory in Texas where he's leading Haley with 78% of the vote.

More than 140 of the state's 161 delegates have been allocated for Trump.

UTAH CAUCUS CHAOS

The former president scooped all 40 of the delegates up for grabs in Utah, but the caucus was mired in chaos due to technical issues.

Republican voters were told to register before turning up at their caucus location.

But systems crashed and voters encountered internet issues.

The chaos left voters bemused.

"This is the stupidest thing I've ever been in," Evelyn Ames told The Salt Lake Tribune.

Some Americans said they rushed to four different caucus locations in a desperate bid to cast their vote.

In total, 16 states participated in Super Tuesday and votes are still being tallied.

Haley's only other victory in the race for the Republican nomination came in Washington D.C. on Sunday night.

The former South Carolina governor was slammed for watching the Super Tuesday results with her staff in her home state rather than making public appearances and remarks.

"She is hiding at home right now. No scheduled speaking events. MAGA won and WON BIG," one voter wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Haley's campaign released a statement after her defeat.

“We’re honored to have received the support of millions of Americans across the country today, including in Vermont where Nikki became the first Republican woman to win two presidential primary contests," her team wrote.

"Unity is not achieved by simply claiming ‘we’re united.’

"Today, in state after state, there remains a large block of Republican primary voters who are expressing deep concerns about Donald Trump.

"That is not the unity our party needs for success. Addressing those voters’ concerns will make the Republican Party and America better.”

Haley has previously said she would stay in the race as long as she was competitive.

On Monday, she released an ad that blamed Trump for a series of Republican losses over recent years.

During the weekend, she raised doubts about whether she would endorse Trump if he were to become the party's presidential nominee.

PUSHING FOR 'UNITY'

Trump reveled in his victory during his address at his plush Florida home.

"They tell me that there's never been one like this has never been anything so conclusive," he said.

"November 5 is going to go down as the single most important day in the history of our country.

"We're not respected right now our country is known as a joke. It's a joke."

Trump hurled jibes at Biden, accusing the commander-in-chief of weakening America's reputation during his time in office.

"We watched our country take a great beating over the last three years,” he said.

"The world is laughing at us, the world is taking advantage of us."

Trump also spoke of how inflation is worse than it has ever been, saying it is killing the middle class. 

“Inflation is called a country buster and that's what it's doing to our country,” Trump said.

“What has happened with inflation has been unbelievable. 

Trump said if he is president again, "We want to have unity, and we're going to have unity and it's going to happen very quickly.

"I have been saying lately, success is going to bring unity to our country."

The race heads to American Samoa on March 8 where nine delegates are up for grabs.

Primaries will take place in Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington on March 12.

A GOP caucus will be held in Hawaii on the same date with Trump and Haley fighting for 19 delegates.

A total of 161 delegates will be up for grabs on March 12 and Trump could be propelled closer to the nomination.

Trump could seal the deal on March 19 when voters in five states, including his home state of Florida, head to the polls.

A whopping 125 delegates will be up for grabs in the Sunshine State alone.

Primaries are also being held in Arizona, Illinois, Kansas, and Ohio on that date.

Biden, meanwhile, easily won the Democratic primaries, claiming Iowa, Vermont, Virginia, North Carolina, Maine, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Minnesota, Utah, Arkansas and California.

His only defeat came in American Samoa, where little-known candidate Jason Palmer won and wrestled a handful of delegates from him.

It was the first time since 1996 that a challenger to an incumbent president won a primary vote.

Roland Riemers emerged victorious in North Dakota as Bill Clinton wasn't on the ballot.

Biden is leading the race for the Democratic Party's nomination but doesn't face any serious threat.

He has almost 1,500 delegates to his name, with 1,968 needed to win the nomination.

"Today, millions of voters across the country made their voices heard—showing that they are ready to fight back against Donald Trump’s extreme plan to take us backward," he said on X.

"Every generation of Americans will face a moment when it has to defend democracy. This is our fight."
