According to NBC News , with 100% of the votes counted by 6:00 p.m. local time (6:00 a.m. on March 3, Vietnam time), Mr. Trump received 924 votes of support (equivalent to 100%) and temporarily won 51/54 delegates of this Midwestern state.
This brings his total number of delegates won so far to 212, an important milestone in his goal of reaching 1,215 delegates to win the Republican Party's nomination for president in November.
Meanwhile, Mr. Trump's only remaining opponent, former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, did not win any votes and the total number of delegates she won remained at 24.
On March 2, the Republican Party also held a primary election in the form of a caucus in the state of Idaho. The winner will have the opportunity to win 32 more delegates and the results are expected to be available at 6:30 p.m. the same day.
In the latest development, on the same day, former President Trump officially won all 39 undecided delegates at the Republican convention in Michigan. Previously, Mr. Trump defeated Ms. Haley in the Republican primary election in the form of secret ballot in this state on February 27, winning 12/55 delegates in this state, while Ms. Haley received 4 more delegates.
The events come just days before the primary elections on Super Tuesday (March 5), when voters in 16 states and one US territory will vote in presidential primaries as well as several key congressional races.
