Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton Win Washington State Primaries
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump each won primaries in Washington state on Tuesday. Trump won 27 Republican delegates, with 17 still to be allocated, the Associated Press reports. Clinton won no delegates, because Washington Democrats already awarded them based on party caucuses in March.
The next (and final) Republican primaries are on June 7, when California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, and South Dakota all vote to allocate their 303 delegates. Trump is likely to clinch the nomination that day.
Clinton is expected to clinch the Democratic nomination in early June as well. Including superdelegates, the former secretary of state is just 78 delegates short of the requisite 2,383. Bernie Sanders won Washington’s caucuses in March.
