Trump Beats Haley By Wide Margin In Missouri GOP Caucus

Former President Donald Trump defeated former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley by a wide margin in the Missouri Republican Party caucus on Saturday, according to projections from the Associated Press.

With 100% of the votes counted, Trump amassed 924 statewide delegates while Haley secured none. The AP called the race less than two hours after caucusing began.

Instead of raw vote totals being released, Missouri’s GOP caucus shows how many statewide delegates each candidate secured with more than 900 up for grabs, according to The New York Times.

The caucuses start the process of awarding 51 of the state’s 54 national Republican delegates that go toward determining who is the party’s presidential nominee.

“Eleven delegates will be awarded to candidates at the statewide level, while five delegates will be awarded from each of Missouri’s eight congressional districts,” the AP explained. “That’s a combined total of 51 delegates at stake in what’s known as a ‘caucus-convention’ system. The remaining three delegates are the state party chairman and Missouri’s Republican national committeeman and committeewoman, who may support any candidate they wish regardless of caucus results.”
