On Monday, Donald Trump won the North Dakota Republican presidential caucuses. Ahead of former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, the former president finished first in voting conducted at 12 caucus sites.
This led Trump back on the winning track, which was briefly intervened on Sunday when Haley marked her first victory in the District of Columbia’s primary.
Now, the White House hopefuls turn their attention to Super Tuesday, when results will come in from 16 states and one territory in contests that amount to the single biggest delegate haul of any day in the presidential primary.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump are dominating their races and are on track to winning their nominations later this month.
Candidates are eligible to win delegates under North Dakota’s rules if they finish with at least 20% of the vote. However, a candidate who wins at least 60% of the vote receives all of the state’s 29 delegates.
Four candidates were on the ballot, including Donald Trump and Nikki Haley. The other candidates, were Florida businessman David Stuckenberg and Texas businessman and pastor Ryan Binkley, who recently ended his campaign.
North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum was speaking on Trump’s behalf on Monday night. Notably, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum ended his unsuccessful presidential campaign in December. He endorsed Trump before the Iowa caucuses.
“I think we’re going to send a message that it’s going to be a kickoff tomorrow, which is President Donald Trump is going to close this out, this is going to be the end of the trail, and we’re going to say we have a nominee, and let’s go after it, and beat Joe Biden in the fall,” Burgum said in a virtual address to caucusgoers.
