(Fox News) Former President Trump, reacting to Super Tuesday primary victories, told Fox News Digital that it is a “great evening,” and that it is his “honor to represent not just the Republican Party but our country in leading it back to health and prosperity.”
Trump, the GOP frontrunner, won Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas, Massachusetts, Colorado, Maine, Alabama, Arkansas, and Minnesota by 9:45 p.m. ET Tuesday night.

“It is a great evening,” Trump told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview after races were called in his favor in 11 states, and while awaiting race calls and polls closing in others.
“Rarely has politics seen anything quite like this,” he said.
Trump added: “It is my honor to represent not just the Republican Party but our country in leading it back to health and prosperity.”
Trump’s reaction came after 11 states were called. The Fox News Decision Desk is still awaiting race calls in Vermont, and poll closures in Alaska, Utah, and California.
Trump’s major Super Tuesday primary victories come after he dominated the Iowa caucuses, left New Hampshire with a commanding victory, swept caucuses in Nevada and the U.S. Virgin Islands, won South Carolina with a “bigger win” than he anticipated, and won Michigan.
Trump won GOP contests in Missouri, Idaho, and Michigan over the weekend, and North Dakota Monday.
Trump, in a speech at his Super Tuesday Victory Party at Mar-a-Lago, blasted President Biden as “the worst president in the history of our country.”
“There has never been anything like what’s happening to our country,” Trump said, pointing to the crisis at the southern border.
The former president, during the speech, said he is focused on efforts to “unify this country and unify this party.”
“We have a great Republican Party with tremendous talent and we want to have unity and we’re going to have unity and going to happen very quickly,” Trump said. “I have been saying lately, success will bring unity to our country.”
