With a vote share of 84%, former President Trump secured all 29 delegates from North Dakota. According to North Dakota's primary rules, a candidate who exceeds 60% of the vote takes all 29 delegates under the winner-takes-all principle.


In the Washington DC primary held the previous day, former Ambassador Haley won, but former President Trump regained momentum, solidifying his 'front-runner' status. Except for the single Washington DC primary, Trump has won all Republican primaries so far. According to polling results, foreign media report that former President Trump is expected to win nearly all upcoming primaries.



Meanwhile, on Super Tuesday, the 5th, simultaneous primaries will be held in 16 regions including California and Texas. More than one-third of the delegates will be decided. The number of delegates needed to become the Republican presidential nominee is 1,215, with 865 delegates at stake on Super Tuesday. President Trump currently holds 273 delegates. Former Ambassador Haley has 53 delegates.
