Donald Trump advanced in his campaign for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination on Saturday, winning internal party contests in Missouri, Michigan, and Idaho, according to US media.
The former president has now won every state nomination race leading up to next week’s “Super Tuesday,” when voters in 15 US states will select their favourite candidate for each party.
Trump has gained significant momentum in his bid to win the Republican nominee at the party convention in July, and Tuesday is likely to all but seal the deal.Voting on Saturday in Missouri, Michigan, and Idaho were hybrid internal elections with different rules, highlighting rifts and tensions despite Trump’s powerful influence.
