Trump maintains grip on GOP nod with victory in North Dakota caucuses

Former President Donald Trump notched yet another primary victory on Monday, this time winning the North Dakota Caucuses that took place on the eve of "Super Tuesday."

The win comes as Trump's campaign has largely shifted its attention to the general election and an all-but-certain rematch of 2020's matchup against President Biden, with the Trump campaign telling Fox News Digital before this week's slate of contests that the primary race is "over."

"Republican voters have delivered resounding wins for President Trump in every single primary contest and this race is over," a spokesperson for the campaign said. "Our focus is now on Joe Biden and the general election."

That path will likely have to start appearing on Super Tuesday, where voters in 15 more states will head to the polls to determine who gets a share of 865 total delegates. While neither candidate can reach the needed 1,215 delegates to secure the nomination this week, continued dominance by Trump would give Haley a near impossible uphill climb. 

For its part, the Haley Campaign has invested heavily in a Super Tuesday turnaround, announcing a seven-figure ad buy earlier this month meant to target many of the states on the Tuesday slate.
