Former U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday won the U.S. state of Nevada caucuses, according to multiple U.S. media projections, marking his fourth win to become the Republican nomination for president.
Trump, the frontrunner in his party’s nominating race, was the only major candidate competing in Nevada’s caucuses and was set to win the state’s 26 delegates to the party’s nominating convention in July after being projected the winner on Thursday night.
Earlier on Thursday, Trump easily won the U.S. Virgin Islands caucuses, with 182 votes, or 74 percent of the 246 votes cast there, beating his last remaining rival in the Republican race, Nikki Haley, who won 26 percent support with 64 votes.
The Nevada caucuses, organized by the Trump-friendly Nevada Republican Party, came two days after a state-run primary election, which saw the defeat of Haley.
