"Trump's Path to 2024 Nomination Strengthened by Republican Primary Results"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by CBS News
Former President Donald Trump may secure the Republican presidential nomination after the Republican primaries in Georgia, Washington, Mississippi, and Hawaii, with 161 GOP delegates at stake. Trump, with over 1,075 delegates, is close to the 1,215 needed to secure the nomination, potentially becoming the first Republican to do so three times. Despite facing 91 felony charges in four criminal cases, including trials in New York, Georgia, Washington, D.C., and Florida, Trump remains the dominant figure in the Republican field after his major rival, Nikki Haley, dropped her White House bid.
