Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee
Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee with no remaining rivals, on Thursday garnered the 1,237 delegates needed to secure the nomination as per Media.
Trump now has 1,238 delegates after a number of the party’s unbound delegates said they would support the New York billionaire at the Republican national convention in July.
“I think he has touched a part of our electorate that doesn’t like where our country is,” said Pam Pollard, the Republic chairwoman in the state of Oklahoma who is among these unbound delegates.
The Republican primary effectively ended when the New York billionaire won the crucial victory in the Indiana primary earlier this month. His last two remaining competitors at the time, Texas senator Ted Cruz and Ohio governor John Kasich, quitted within 24 hours afterwards.
