Trump’s recent primary wins in Michigan, Missouri, and Idaho have bolstered his bid for the Republican presidential nomination. The former president’s margin has grown, making him the likely nominee to face Joe Biden in November.
Trump, 77, defeated Nikki Haley, his final opponent, in all 13 Michigan districts. The former UN Ambassador, Haley, committed to continue her campaign until “Super Tuesday,” a key day with 15 states voting concurrently, but Missouri’s triumph was proclaimed less than two hours after voting began.
Trump spoke to thousands in Richmond, Virginia, about “winning big” in the next round of voting. Trump blamed President Joe Biden for the US-Mexico border migrant situation in his speech. Biden’s camp accused Trump of obstructing a bipartisan immigration package to improve border security, build a border wall, and expedite asylum hearings.
Migration is a hot topic among US voters and may be a major battlefield in the presidential race. Polling shows people value border security, which Trump emphasizes.
The Republican primary winner faces President Biden in November. A recent New York Times and Siena survey found that 48% of US citizens would vote for Trump over the Democrat, compared to 43% for the incumbent.
Trump’s path to the Republican nomination is improving as he consolidates his position, setting up a widely anticipated face-off with Joe Biden later this year.
