Trump wins Washington state primary
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is projected to win the Washington state primary as he continues his march to the nomination.
Trump will almost certainly win all 44 of the state’s delegates.
{mosads}Trump entered Tuesday’s election with 1,169 delegates, just 68 shy of the 1,237-delegate threshold to clinch the nomination, according to the Associated Press.
He will surpass that total on June 7, when California, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota hold GOP primaries.
Trump has already pivoted to the general election, training his fire on Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton and gearing up to fundraise with the national party in anticipation for an expensive general election that could cost up to $1 billion.
While Trump is the only active candidate left in the race, rivals Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Ben Carson were still on the ballot in Washington, according to the Tacoma News Tribune.
