Former United States President Donald Trump won the Washington State Republican presidential primary with 43 delegates at stake, according to projections by CNN, thereby becoming the Republican Party’s presumptive presidential nominee.
Trump secured the required number of 1,215 delegates for the nomination with an allocation of delegates from Washington State. Before Tuesday's primaries in Mississippi, Georgia, and Washington State, Trump had 1,075 delegates. In the meantime, he claimed another victory in the caucuses in Hawaii. US President Joe Biden also secured a victory in the state as per NBC News projections, with 92 Democratic delegates up for grabs.
Trump is to be officially nominated at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in July. Meanwhile, on the Democratic side, Biden earned enough delegates to secure the Democratic presidential nomination. The two candidates are thus set for a rematch, in the first US presidential election to feature such a rematch since 1956.
