5 Takeaways From Trump’s March 2 Triumphs

The Epoch Times Header

Trump sweeps up 3 GOP caucus victories days before Super Tuesday as he edges toward the nomination.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.—Republicans across the United States are picking former President Donald Trump to lead them.

March 2 marked another series of electoral victories for the former president in his quest to secure the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. Some dramatically illustrated just how popular he is with both the base and Republican caucusgoers at the junction between the grassroots and the establishment.

He triumphed in Missouri, Michigan, and Idaho, capturing all the delegates at stake that day and setting the stage for more key races on this week’s Super Tuesday.

As President Trump’s lead grows, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley faces tougher delegate math than ever—even as one ongoing contest could work out in her favor.

‘Show Me State’ Shows Trump Deep Loyalty

President Trump won Missouri’s Republican caucus, held in Clay County, with 100 percent of the vote in all 114 of the state’s counties. The Associated Press called the race for President Trump at 11:40 a.m. local time.

That means all 51 delegates from the state to the Republican National Convention (RNC) will go to him.

“THANK YOU, MISSOURI,” President Trump posted on Truth Social.

“Missouri Republicans have spoken loud and clear today, affirming their trust in President Trump’s leadership,” Missouri Republican Party Chairman Nick Myers said in a statement on the outcome.

In Missouri, as elsewhere, major Republican politicians have thrown in with the all-but-presumptive nominee. That includes Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), who, almost two years after President Trump ambiguously endorsed “Eric” in his race against Eric Greitens, spoke on the president’s behalf on March 2.

Warring Michigan Republicans Come Together for Trump

Elsewhere in the Great Midwest, Michigan’s Republican Party has been riven by conflict over who’s in charge.

The main convention in Grand Rapids, led by party chair Pete Hoekstra, nearly faced competition from a rival Detroit event headed by Kristina Karamo, who has contended that her removal as party chair in a January vote was improper.

Yet a judge recently ruled in favor of Mr. Hoekstra, the man endorsed by President Trump, and Ms. Karamo canceled that planned convention. Other splinter events in the state received comparatively little attention as March 2 wore on.

The big story was another extremely strong showing for President Trump in all 13 districts at stake in Grand Rapids.
