Trump Ends Super Tuesday With Utah Win, Edges Closer to Notching GOP Nomination

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah—As expected, former President Donald Trump has won the Utah Republican presidential poll to take 14 of 15 GOP Super Tuesday contests on March 5 against former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.

The only real suspense anticipated in Utah’s March 5 caucus results was if President Trump would garner the statewide 50 percent-plus-one plurality to secure all of the state’s 40 Republican National Convention delegates.

As of 1:30 a.m. Mountain Time, he appeared well on his way to doing just that.

With 74 percent of precincts reporting early on March 6, the former president had secured 58.2 percent of the votes, amounting to 37,960 votes, compared to Ms. Haley’s 40.7 percent or 26,539 votes. It means President Trump extends his significant delegate lead, positioning him to potentially clinch the nomination as early as March 12.
