Although Former President Donald Trump won the Republican primary in Washington on Tuesday night, he will not get the nomination until the Republican convention in Milwaukee in July. However, he has already passed the party's delegate threshold of 1,215 delegates required to become the presumed candidate of the Republican Party at 11:05 p.m. Eastern time.
At around 33% of the total votes cast, Trump had a 72% lead. Nikki Haley, a former US ambassador to the UN who withdrew from the race the day following Super Tuesday, finished with a 24% share.
After Haley withdrew from the campaign, Trump became the unofficial nominee, opening the door for a third nomination. The former president had previously received 1,089 delegates as of Tuesday night, but Trump now has the necessary number of delegates after the outcomes from Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington.
We were just named the official nominee by the Republican National Committee. Therefore, it is rather significant that we are the Republican Party's official candidate. But most crucially, after winning in Washington, we now have to go into victory because our nation is in grave danger," Trump said.
"Once more, it was an amazing day, and our victory last week made for a very memorable Super Tuesday," he said. "But now, we must return to work because we have the worst president in our nation's history." Joe Biden, sometimes known as "crooked Joe Biden," is his name, and he has to lose.
During the 2024 primary season, the former president handily beat over a dozen Republican opponents. While Trump has resoundingly won every other primary and caucus where he has been on the ballot, he has lost two nomination contests to Haley, in Vermont and Washington, D.C.
Trump will face off against President Joe Biden, who secured the 1,968 delegates required for candidacy on Tuesday night thanks to the outcomes of Georgia's election. Biden also assumed the role of Democratic nominee.
The electorate is not eager for a rerun from their 2020 presidential election cycle, as Trump and Biden prepare for one of the longest general election campaigns in recent history.
The first trial of the four instances in which the former president is accused of paying hush money to porn actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election is set to start in New York on March 25. The president is facing 91 felony accusations.
Although Trump wants to postpone his legal matters until after the election in November, a felony conviction before then may cost him enough votes to defeat Biden a second time.
Trump leads Biden by an average of 1.7 percentage points in a RealClearPolitics survey. However, a lot may change in the eight months or so that remain before the general election season.
