The former U.S. President Donald Trump stated this Tuesday that the results obtained in the Republican primaries held this Tuesday in a fortnight of states are decisive and symbolize that he should be elected the Republican candidate.

"They call it Super Tuesday for a reason and it has been great. There has never been such a conclusive result. It has been an incredible day and night," he pointed out at a public event held in Palm Beach, Florida, at his famous Mar-a-Lago mansion.

In his celebration speech, shorter than usual, Trump started talking about one of his favorite topics, migration.

"They want open borders and open borders are going to destroy our country. We need borders and we need free and fair elections," said the 77-year-old politician.

Of course, he also referred to his own legal situation and again presented himself as a victim of a witch hunt by the Biden administration.

As part of his criticisms of Biden, his possible rival, he claimed that thanks to him he has received "a big beating in the last three years."

"We have a country where a politician uses weapons against his political opponent, it never happened here. It happens in other countries, but they are third world," said the former president, who faces four criminal trials and is accused of crimes such as bribery, illegal possession of classified documents or electoral interference.

For his part, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, stated that former President Donald Trump, who is lining up as a Republican candidate, is "determined to destroy" the country's democracy.

"He is determined to (...) tear away fundamental rights such as women's ability to make their own health decisions," he said in a message to evaluate the primary results.

This Tuesday, 15 of the 50 states of the United States voted in the primaries, in which Biden and Trump are shaping up as the Democratic and Republican candidates for the presidential elections next November.
