Once again, Donald Trump performed very well in the race for a place on the ballot in the US presidential election in November. The former president convincingly won the Republican caucus in Missouri, Idaho and Michigan against his only challenger, Nikki Haley.

During a party conference, party members meet in villages and towns, after which the winner is determined by a show of hands. It is often a long and complex process. Therefore, most states choose so-called primaries, where voting takes place as in a regular election.

On Wednesday, Trump also won part of the Michigan primary. Republicans in this state choose their presidential nominee in two stages: through the primaries and through the caucuses.

In order to be finally selected as a presidential nominee, Trump needs 1,215 delegates. Last day he got the rest of the delegates from Michigan behind him. This means that it is confirmed that there will be 39 other delegates. Idaho and Missouri gave him 32 and 54 delegates, respectively.

According to Pete Hoekstra, former US ambassador to the Netherlands and now chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, Trump’s victory is “overwhelming and overwhelming.”

With all three states in his pocket, Trump leaves his only rival, Haley, behind. Now, Trump has 244 delegates, compared to only 24 for Haley. However, she still wants to stay in the race, also hoping that the lawsuits against Trump will destroy him.

Next Tuesday, Trump could secure the Republican Party’s nomination as the presidential nominee. That day is Super Tuesday, when primaries are held simultaneously in several states. This includes important states such as California (169 delegates), Texas (161) and North Carolina (74). A total of 854 delegates could be won on Tuesday.
