Trump wins West Virginia GOP primary

Former President Trump has won the West Virginia Republican presidential primary, according to Decision Desk HQ. 

Trump, who has already mathematically clinched the GOP nomination, will add 32 delegates from the winner-take-all contest to his total. He was the only major active candidate on the ballot, which also included former presidential candidate Nikki Haley, who had already qualified for the ballot before ending her campaign in March. 

Haley has continued to see support in various states even after she left the race, receiving more than 128,000 votes, more than 20 percent of the total, in last week’s Indiana GOP primary. She has also received noteworthy numbers in states like Pennsylvania, Arizona and Georgia over the past two months. 

Trump is very likely to easily carry West Virginia in the general election in November given the state’s strong Republican leaning.
