Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination for the third time after winning primaries in Mississippi, Georgia, and Washington state. While he still awaits confirmation from the Republican National Convention delegates, his wins solidify his lead.
Before Tuesday’s primaries, Trump had around 1,075 delegates out of the 1,215 needed for a majority at the RNC in July. This victory gives him room to shape the GOP’s strategy, including fundraising, as he gears up to challenge President Joe Biden in the general election.
Biden also secured the Democratic nomination with wins in Georgia, Mississippi, Washington, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
Trump’s wins in Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington earned him a significant number of delegates. Results from Hawaii’s primary are pending.
Despite skipping debates, Trump dominated the Republican primaries, defeating over a dozen competitors. Nikki Haley, his last female challenger, withdrew from the race after Super Tuesday.
This win towards securing the Republican nomination for the upcoming presidential election. With his victories in multiple states and the ongoing shifts within the Republican National Committee, Trump’s influence on the party’s future direction is becoming increasingly apparent.
