Scripps News and Decision Desk HQ project former President Donald Trump has won the Georgia and Washington Republican presidential primaries, securing enough delegates to earn the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential race.
Both President Biden and Trump were poised to surpass 50% of their parties' delegates on Tuesday to secure this year's nominations. Trump's last major opponent for the Republican nomination, Nikki Haley, dropped out of the race last week after she picked up just 94 out of a possible 1,183 delegates.
Trump entered Tuesday's primaries with 1,077 delegates. He needs 1,215 delegates to earn the party's nomination at its convention this summer. Trump could end Tuesday with as many as 1,238 delegates, giving him 23 more than what's necessary to win the nomination this summer. President Biden had 1,861 out of a possible 1,883 delegates, with 19 delegates being uncommitted and three going to entrepreneur Jason Palmer, who won American Samoa's Democratic caucuses.
