Prominent conservatives took to social media to express their reactions as former President Trump secured victories in nearly every Super Tuesday primary contest, with many urging the party to unify behind him.
“Ohio GOP Senator JD Vance commented on X, ‘Man, I knew Trump would have a good night but this is a rout,'” as Trump continued to notch victories across multiple states on Tuesday night. “For voters, we have the next six months to convince them that DJT deserves another term. But for donors and political professionals, it’s time to unite behind our nominee. Please stop wasting time and money.”
“Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott stated on X, ‘Admit it. The primary is over. Time for Republicans to unite and restore sanity at the border.'”
“GOP Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, potentially considered for Trump’s running mate, shared on X, ‘It is LONG past time for us to rally around President Trump as our Republican nominee who will defeat Joe Biden this November.'”
“Ohio GOP Chair Alex Triantafilou emphasized on X, ‘The GOP presidential primary is over. President Trump’s resounding Super Tuesday victories have solidified it. It is time to listen to our voters and unite the Republican Party.'”
“South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott, also rumored as a potential vice-presidential pick, posted on X, ‘Voters across our country have spoken — this race is about the American people. It’s about safe streets, quality education, and a secure border. Donald J. Trump is the one candidate to unite our country around success and WIN in November.'”
“In his victory speech on Tuesday night, Trump made no mention of Haley, but said that ‘success will bring unity to our country.'”
“Haley’s campaign released a statement on Tuesday, saying, ‘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.’ However, the statement also emphasized, ‘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.'”
