Hey, good morning, Playbookers. I am Playbook Deputy Editor Zach Stanton.

It is Wednesday, March 6th, and here's what striving the day.

On the surface, Super Tuesday was a romp for both Joe Biden and Donald Trump, who bulldozed through last night's primaries and caucuses,

even if they each stopped short of a clean sweep.

Dig in a little bit, though, and you'll find that there's also plenty for both campaigns to worry about that happened yesterday.

For Trump, the good news is that he won all but one contest,

losing only Vermont to Nikki Haley, another reminder in case one was needed, that this is Trump's

party. But the bad news for him is that, one, he continued to underperform his strong polls,

and two, a number of Haley voters said that they would never vote for

Trump in the general election. Though, honestly, to what extent that's a function of Democrats

crossing over to vote for Haley in the primary is a topic of some debate. For Biden, the good news

is that he carried all but one state and territory up yesterday. And you could

practically hear the champagne corks popping in Delaware when North Carolina Republicans selected

as their gubernatorial nominee, Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, who is a controversial figure

with a history of incredibly inflammatory and offensive statements that are sure to be fodder for attack ads.

Now, North Carolina is, per the Biden campaign, the Trump once state they feel most optimistic about flipping in 2024,

and they see Mark Robinson as sort of the ideal Republican for them to run against.

On the downside for Biden, he did lose one territory, that territory being American Samoa,

to a man named Jason Palmer.

Now, if your response to hearing that name is to ask, who?

Then please know you're in good company.
