DENVER — Colorado voters decided which Republican and Democrat they wish to nominate for president on Super Tuesday. And the unofficial results, which came in almost immediately after polls closed at 7 p.m., came as no surprise for many.
According to Decision Desk HQ, both President Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump are projected to win Colorado's Democratic and Republican primaries, respectively.

Concerns that 15% or more of Colorado Democratic voters would choose the "noncommitted" option, meaning delegates at the Democratic National Convention would not vote for Biden, did not pan out.
ABC News coverage:
In other Super Tuesday states, the results were about the same. Both candidates were sweeping the coast-to-coast contests.
The earliest either Biden or Trump can become his party’s presumptive nominee is March 12 for Trump and March 19 for Biden. But both are already signaling publicly that they are looking forward to facing each other again.
“We have to beat Biden — he is the worst president in history,” Trump said Tuesday on “Fox & Friends.”
Biden countered with a pair of radio interviews aimed at shoring up his support among Black voters, who helped anchor his 2020 coalition.
“If we lose this election, you’re going to be back with Donald Trump,” Biden said on the “DeDe in the Morning” show hosted by DeDe McGuire. “The way he talks about, the way he acted, the way he has dealt with the African American community, I think, has been shameful.”
