Donald Trump won the Republican Party primaries with 794 delegates

The current president has the majority support of his political force to become a candidate for reelection. In the elections it swept the 13 states where it competesThe president of the United States, Donald Trump, prevailed Tuesday in the presidential primaries of the Republican Party in the states of Arkansas, Vermont, Colorado, Maine, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Texas, Alabama, Oklahoma, California, Utah, Minnesota and Carolina of the North during this electoral contest in 13 districts of the country, according to the AP agency .

In all these districts he obtained support of around 95%. He also won the victory without opposition in California and Utah, the last two states whose figures remained to be known at the close of the rest.

The current president, who is seeking re-election, has the overwhelming support of his party to become a candidate again , so these primaries are little more than a process that must go through, unlike the hard struggle that was taking place in this same day of SuperMarts in the Democratic Party, in which there is no certainty about who will be the candidate for president.

Such is the support of members and officials of the Republican Party with Trump, that five states (Kansas, Alaska, South Carolina, Arizona and Nevada) decided to cancel the primaries to give all their support without going through the vote of their affiliates

The vast majority of state authorities, however, were not ready for so much and preferred to call elections to cross the institutional pathways of the party and choose their candidate legitimately.

Only two candidates remained in the race to dispute the Trump nomination: Bill Weld, who was governor of Massachusetts between 1991 and 1997 , and Roque de la Fuente, an entrepreneur who has numerous frustrated candidatures for different parties on his curriculum. Of the 87 delegates assigned so far, 86 went to Trump, one to Weld and none to De la Fuente, who barely received 146 votes. A complete sample of what your real prospects for success are.

Republicans vote on Tuesday in 13 states (Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Vermont), which grant 785 delegates, 30% of the 2,550 that they choose in total and 61.5% of the 1,276 that are needed to be confirmed as a candidate in the National Convention, which will take place between August 24 and 27. Trump is expected to win almost everyone, so he will have few more to reach the magic number after Tuesday.

The most important state is California, with 172 delegates, followed by Texas, with 155. As the second is much more decisive than the first for Republicans, the difference is less than that derived from the population of each. The opposite of what happens with the Democrats.
