Trump sailed through successive contests on March 12 in Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington, claiming three more victories as the de facto GOP nominee.

Former President Donald Trump made a clean sweep of three more Republican presidential primaries as he remains effectively unchallenged within his party.

He sailed through successive contests on March 12 in Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington, claiming three more victories as the de facto GOP nominee.

His last remaining rival, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, suspended her campaign after losing every state but Vermont on Super Tuesday, March 5.

The Associated Press called the Georgia race for President Trump at 7:11 p.m. (ET), shortly after polls closed. The Mississippi race was called at 8:08 p.m. (ET), and the Washington results were called at 11.05 p.m. (ET).

With the Republican National Convention set for July 15โ€“18, there were 59 delegates at stake in Georgiaโ€™s race, all bound to those running in its March 12 primary. In Mississippi, 40 were available under broadly similar rules, while 43 were up for grabs in Washingtonโ€™s GOP primary.

If President Trump claims almost all those delegatesโ€”137 out of 142โ€”he will have secured a majority of his partyโ€™s delegates. That would position him to become the Republican Partyโ€™s presidential nominee once that question is voted on at the convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Before the eveningโ€™s contests took place, President Trump could lay claim to 1,078 delegates. Ms. Haley had garnered 94 delegates. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who dropped out in January before the New Hampshire primary, had 9 delegates. Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, who left the race after a lackluster finish in the Iowa caucus, had 3 delegates.

Incumbent President Joe Biden was also poised to clinch his partyโ€™s presumptive nomination on March 12.

Marianne Williamson recently relaunched her campaign, as โ€œuncommittedโ€ campaigns in various Democratic races have registered left-wing dissatisfaction with the Biden administrationโ€™s Israel policy.

On the streets of Chicago, Illinois, which will host the Democratic National Convention Aug. 19โ€“22, stickers labeling President Biden a โ€œterroristโ€ are a foreshadowing of protests that could rock that event, barring a ceasefire brokered by the Biden administration or similar policy moves.
