Trump scores slew of Republican presidential nomination victories ahead of Super Tuesday

"Over the weekend we won Missouri, Idaho, and Michigan - BIG NUMBERS," Trump touted on his Truth Social network on Sunday night.

The former president kicked off the weekend by capturing all 39 delegates up for grabs at the Michigan GOP's party convention, which was held in Grand Rapids. Trump had previously won most of the 16 delegates awarded in Michigan's statewide primary on Feb. 27.

HALEY BRINGS TRUMP'S PRIMARY WINNING STREAK TO AN END

A few hours later, the former president was victorious in the Missouri caucuses, and he closed out Saturday evening by scoring a win in the Idaho caucuses.

"We’ve been launching like a rocket to the Republican nomination. We just got numbers today that were unbelievable," Trump touted Saturday night at a rally in Richmond, Virginia — which is one of the Super Tuesday states — as he pointed to his ballot box victories in Michigan, Missouri and Idaho.

Haley, who remains in the GOP nomination race at least through Super Tuesday, despite the extremely long odds she faces, on Sunday enjoyed victory for the first time in the 2024 race, as she topped Trump by roughly 30 points in Washington D.C.'s Republican primary. She captured 19 delegates and made history as the first woman to win a GOP presidential primary or caucus.

However, McIntosh and Trump reconciled in recent weeks, and Trump spoke Friday evening at the Club's annual donor retreat, which was once again held at The Breakers, an exclusive beachfront resort in the upper crust seaside community of Palm Beach, Florida.

"We had an argument about a couple of people that you know well, and that broke us up for about a year," Trump said at the Club gathering, according to a source in the room at the private event. 

However, Trump emphasized that "now we’re back in love, we’re deeply in love."

McIntosh told Fox News Digital that "it’s time for Republicans to unite and put our differences aside."

He added that "President Trump always says, ‘When Trump and the Club for Growth are together, we always win.’ And together we are going to win back the White House and more this November."
