Washington, February 9
Donald Trump won Republican presidential nominating caucuses in Nevada and the US Virgin Islands on Thursday, moving closer to becoming his party’s White House standard-bearer in a likely general election rematch with US President Joe Biden in November.
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 by Edison Research. Trump also easily won the US Virgin Islands caucuses.
Meanwhile, Nikki Haley has said the US will have a female president in 2024, and it will be either her or Kamala Harris, both of them Indian-origin.
Haley has said she will stay in the race for the White House even after the embarrassment in Nevada and with polling showing her trailing badly in her home state of South Carolina. — Agencies
