On Tuesday, former president Donald Trump won four more Republican key races and won members in a second position. While Trump now surpassed the number of members required to secure the Republican Party’s nomination for president, he added to his delegate full by winning the New York, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Rhode Island primaries and securing all of the members in Delaware.
According to The Associated Press, with almost 93 % of Tuesday’s voting counted in New York, Trump secured 91 members after receiving 82.1 % of the vote. With 96 % of the vote counted in Connecticut, the former president received 22 delegates after securing 77.9 % of the vote. In Wisconsin, Trump gained 41 delegates and the support of 79.2 % of Tuesday’s voters, with 99 % of the vote reported. Finally, in Rhode Island, with 98 % of the vote reported, the former president earned 15 additional delegates after securing 84.4 % of the vote.
Since Trump already has the GOP nomination and the major vote would not have been contested, the Delaware Department of Elections canceled the country’s Republican presidential primary election, according to ABC News. While the condition did not hold a major election battle on Tuesday, the country’s 16 members were awarded to Trump.

President Joe Biden even won the Democratic primary tribes in New York, Connecticut, Wisconsin, and Rhode Island on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press. Since no other prospect had filed to be on the vote in the position, Biden received all 19 Democrat members, according to ABC News, and the Delaware primary election was not scheduled.
Since both Trump and Biden have now won enough members to become their party’s candidate ahead of the November national election, the Republican and Democratic presidential primary elections on Tuesday were slower than some of the other prior key elections this year. Only 4 % of eligible voters in Rhode Island had cast ballots by 5 p.m., according to the outlet, while Connecticut Secretary of State Stephanie Thomas reported to The Associated Press that only 1 % or 2 % of voters in some areas had cast ballots by 11 a.m.
” Over the past few weeks, what we have been hearing on the ground is that this is n’t a competitive primary,” Thomas said.
