This is AP News, I'm Rita Folle. Sixteen states are holding Super Tuesday elections today from California to Virginia. AP Washington correspondent Sagar McGonney. More than a third of the delegates available in both parties' primaries will be awarded today in 16 states and American Samoa. Still neither president Biden nor Donald Trump will end tonight as their parties presumptive nominee, though they can get pretty close. Next week is the earliest Trump could hit his magic number, followed by the president a week later. But Nikki Haley is not dropping out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination, telling supporters at a rally in spring Texas. Don't complain about what happens in a general election. If you don't play in this primary, it matters, it matters. Texas has plans to arrest migrants who enter the U.S. illegally as headed to the Supreme Court. The AP's Lisa Dwyer. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has issued an order that temporarily halts Texas' immigration law from going into effect until next week so that the full court can decide what steps to take next. Alito's order putting it on hold until March 13 came just hours after the Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to intervene, setting up another legal showdown over the federal government's authority over immigration. Under the Texas law, state officers can arrest people suspected of entering the country illegally. I'm Lisa Dwyer. A small plane crashed near a highway in Nashville last night.

A settlement has been reached in a fake elector case in Wisconsin from the 2020 presidential election. According to the settlement, two attorneys for then-President Donald Trump, Kenneth Chesparo and Jim Troopis, orchestrated a plan for fake electors to file paperwork falsely saying Trump won in Wisconsin. The two men turned over more than 1,400 pages of documents, emails, and text messages. It's a strategy used in six other states, including Georgia, where Chesparo has already pleaded guilty. There is no admission of wrongdoing or liability in the agreements in Wisconsin, in which Chesparo and Troopis promise to never take part in similar efforts involving future presidential campaigns. Michigan and Nevada have criminally charged fake electors, but there's no known criminal investigation in Wisconsin. I'm Ed Donahue. The Dow fell 97 points yesterday. The S&P dropped six points.
