It’s a re-match SHOWDOWN!
Former President Donald Trump is now the official presumptive Republican presidential nominee, in his race to re-take the Oval Office from Joe Biden.
USA Today reported:
For the third time, Donald Trump has earned enough delegates to win the Republican presidential nomination after securing wins in Mississippi, Georgia, and Washington state. He will not officially become the nominee until the Republican National Convention delegates vote this summer.
Before Tuesday’s primaries, the GOP frontrunner had an estimated 1,075 delegates, with 1,215 being the required number for a majority of delegates to the Republican National Committee in Milwaukee in July. This win ensures that Trump has plenty of leeway to transform the GOP operation – including fundraising – to his liking and focus on a rematch with President Joe Biden.
Earlier in the day, Biden secured the Democratic nomination after wins in Georgia, Mississippi, Washington and the Northern Mariana Islands.
Trump won the following delegates Tuesday night:
- Georgia (59 delegates)
- Mississippi (40)
- Washington (43).
Trump is also expected to pick up Hawaii’s 19 delegates.
Trump, who has always been the GOP front-runner for the 2024 race, started out with a dozen challengers. Trump beat them all without ever even having to participate in a single debate.
Trump released a statement on his Truth Social page Tuesday night. Skipping the “presumptive” part, Trump wrote:
It is my great honor to be representing the Republican Party as its Presidential Nominee. Our Party is UNITED and STRONG, and fully understands that we are running against the Worst, Most Incompetent, Corrupt, and Destructive President in the History of the United States.
Millions of people are invading our Country, many from prisons and mental institutions of other Countries. High Interest Rates and Inflation are choking our great middle class, and ALL, our Economy is bad, and our Stock Market is rising only because Polls are strongly indicating that we will WIN the Presidential Election of 2024.
We are now, under Crooked Joe Biden, a Third World Nation, which uses the Injustice System to go after his political opponent, ME!
But fear not, we will not fail, we will take back our once great Country, put AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN – GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE. November 5th will go down as the most important day in the history of our Country! GOD BLESS AMERICA.
Donald Trump has clinched the delegates he needed to become the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
