In Virginia, voters only voted on their party's nominees for president.

In North Carolina, there were not only the presidential primaries on the ballot, but also primaries for congressional elections and numerous state and local races, including for governor.

Both President Biden and Trump clinched their respective party primaries in Virginia and North Carolina. The men dominated the Super Tuesday primaries, bringing them one step closer to a rematch this coming November.

Biden now needs less than 500 delegates to officially be the Democratic party's presidential nominee.

Trump now needs less than 300 delegates to secure the GOP presidential nomination.

The following blog, published on Super Tuesday, gives a look at how the primaries in Virginia and North Carolina played out.
