Trump scores big delegate haul with Tuesday sweep

Donald Trump swept primaries in all five states Tuesday, netting the Republican front-runner 105 delegates and sending his total haul to 950 out of 1,237 needed to clinch the presidential nomination.

Races in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island were called for Trump soon after the polls closed. The New York businessman’s commanding victories brought him around 65 delegates for winning statewide in each state, and another approximately 40 delegates for winning in most congressional districts, which awarded about three delegates each.
