Former President Donald Trump Wins North Dakota’s Republican Caucus: CNN

Former President Donald Trump won a decisive victory in North Dakota’s Republican presidential caucuses, according to recent projections. This win provides Trump with a significant boost as the election campaign expands to 15 states on Super Tuesday.

This victory marks President Trump’s third consecutive win in the state, following his successes in 2020 and 2016, where he defeated Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, respectively. Trump remains the clear favorite as he secures the endorsement of North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, a onetime campaign rival in the 2024 election who then dropped out in December before ultimately endorsing the former president prior to the Iowa caucuses.

With this win, President Trump is highly likely to clinch all 29 Republican delegates from North Dakota, drawing him closer to the 1,215 delegates required to secure the GOP nomination and solidify his position as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

North Dakota has long been a stronghold for the Republican Party, consistently voting for the GOP candidate in the last 14 consecutive presidential elections. The state’s support for Democratic candidates has steadily diminished since Lyndon B. Johnson’s victory in 1964, when he secured over 60% of the national vote while competing against Barry Goldwater. In the 2020 election, Trump defeated Joe Biden in North Dakota by a significant margin of over 30%.
