WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump’s third consecutive stint as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee was made possible by an almost uninterrupted string of lopsided primary and caucus victories and his near sweep of GOP delegates awarded to date. The Associated Press declared Trump the presumptive nominee at at 11:09 p.m. EDT Tuesday, following his wins in Georgia, Mississippi and Washington state. He won at least 126 of their combined available delegates to push him past the 1,215 needed to become the presumptive nominee. Trump’s path to unofficially clinching the nomination more closely resembled the one he took as the incumbent in 2020 than his 2016 bid as a first-time candidate. He defeated an at-times crowded field to secure the 2024 nomination.
