Trump Set For More GOP Victories On Saturday

Trump Set For More GOP Victories On Saturday

Republicans are voting in four more states on Saturday — and Donald Trump is poised for another round of victories.

One caveat, though: GOP contests at this point in the race are still allocating delegates on a proportional basis, with the winner-take-all races not beginning until the big date of March 15. Thus, while The Donald is likely to emerge as the winner of these contests, he will likely not gain an outright majority of delegates against a field that is still working to take him down.

However, these victories could still net him some public momentum, and boost his campaign as he heads into those make-or-break contests in Marco Rubio home state of Florida, John Kasich’s home of Ohio, and others voting in two weeks.

The latest results are:

There has not been any polling of the fourth Saturday contest, the caucuses in Maine. However, Trump is benefitting here from the endorsement by Gov. Paul LePage, and he has already won victories in the three other New England states of New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Vermont. He should be considered the favorite here, too.
