"Trump Triumphs in US Virgin Islands GOP Caucus, Defying Party Rules"
Donald Trump won the Republican caucus in the U.S. Virgin Islands, defying GOP party rules by holding the contest earlier than allowed and using ranked-choice voting. Trump received 73.98% of the votes, while Nikki Haley received 26.02%. The caucus, which saw a high turnout, aimed to ensure the U.S. territory played a significant role in the nomination process. Despite the rule violation, officials in the U.S. Virgin Islands plan to send nine delegates to the Republican National Convention, although the Republican National Committee has stated they are entitled to only four delegates.
