'No surprise there': Internet divided as Donald Trump easily claims victory in Arizona GOP primary

PHOENIX, ARIZONA: Former President Donald Trump has secured a win in the Arizona Republican primary on Tuesday, according to reports from the Associated Press.

After former two-term South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley withdrew from the GOP presidential race earlier this month, Trump stood as the sole major candidate on the ballot.

According to The Hill, Trump has now captured all 43 delegates with his victory in this winner-take-all state, boosting his prospects of securing the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Additionally, his total delegate count has surpassed 250 delegates.

Trump's recent primary victories in states like Florida, Illinois, and North Carolina, along with these developments, have solidified the 77-year-old MAGA strongman's position as a formidable force in the current political landscape.

What did Trump say prior to his primary victory in Arizona?

At a news conference in Washington on Monday, the former president stated, "It appears that we're performing strongly in Arizona, as well as in most other places."

Trump hosted large gatherings in Tucson and Fountain Hills, Arizona, on Saturday, according to KGW8.

Arizona is poised to play a pivotal role as a battleground state in the upcoming November general election.

In the 2020 election, President Joe Biden succeeded in flipping the Grand Canyon State after Donald Trump had won it in 2016.

During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump emerged victorious in the Republican primary in Arizona, defeating Texas Senator Ted Cruz with less than a majority of the vote.

These events have underscored the importance of Arizona as a crucial state to monitor in the forthcoming presidential elections.
