OLYMPIA, Wash., May 25 (UPI) -- Donald Trump, the likely Republican presidential nominee, scored a primary victory in Washington state on Tuesday as he comes closer to clinching the nomination before the GOP convention.
With more than 70 percent of precincts reporting in Washington, Trump leads with at least 76 percent of votes over Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich -- who both dropped out of the race earlier this month. Trump has secured at least 1,196 delegates, just shy of the 1,237 needed to win the party's nomination.
