Donald Trump Declared Republican Nominee After Super Tuesday Victories

Donald Trump Organization trial in New York State Supreme Court in New York

Following his victories on Super Tuesday, Donald Trump has declared himself the Republican nominee, despite Nikki Haley still being in the race. In a statement, Trump expressed gratitude for the primary victories and asserted that he is the nominee, emphasizing a focus on secure borders, economic prosperity, and peace through strength.

House GOP leadership, including Johnson, had already endorsed Trump, signaling a unified front within the party. They are now urging other Republicans to align with Trump's candidacy. Johnson has been actively working to ensure alignment between Trump and key congressional races, even meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago to lobby for endorsements of Republican candidates.

This development underscores Trump's significant influence within the GOP and his firm grip on the party. With support from key figures like Johnson and the House GOP leadership, Trump's path to the nomination appears increasingly solidified.
