Presumptive nominee Donald Trump easily won the Republican primary in Washington, rolling up an overwhelming share of the vote in the no-longer-contested race.
With 53 percent of the ballots counted, Mr. Trump had 76 percent of the vote, while his last two rivals, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, were hovering around 10 percent each. Both men suspended their campaigns early this month.
Mr. Trump has a chance of mathematically clinching the nomination going into Tuesday’s vote with 1,193 delegates, 44 short of the required 1,237.
Washington has 44 delegates at stake and, according to the Associated Press, Mr. Trump had won at least 24 delegates, with the allocation of the other 20 still undetermined as of 11:30 p.m.
The last five states all vote June 7 and Mr. Trump will clinch the nomination then if he doesn’t this week.
