Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump has easily won the winner-take-most Washington Republican primary Tuesday night, likely taking all 44 of the state’s delegates. With 1,387/2,000 precincts (69.3%) reporting, Mr. Trump had more than three-quarters of the vote and more than 371,000 total votes.
If a candidate receives a majority of the vote or only 1 candidate receives 20% of the vote, said candidate receives all 3 delegates available in the state’s 10 congressional districts. Adding only the delegates automatically awarded to the statewide winner of the primary and districts tallied puts Mr. Trump now just 38 delegates shy of his goal with a total 1,199.
A candidate needs 1,237 delegates to clinch the Republican nomination.
Meanwhile, Mr. Trump held a rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Tuesday night and was on fire. He took shots at his likely rival Hillary Clinton, her allies to include but not limited to former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendall, who said half of American women are ugly. Mr. Trump also repeatedly referred to “Goofy” Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas.”
Sen. Warren, a darling of the far left and Democratic Party, infamously and erroneously claimed she was of Native American heritage, a claim that got her preferential treatment during her Ivy League career.
The state will hold its proportional primary on June 7, the final day of the nomination contest and 24 delegates are up for grabs.
