Former President Donald Trump swept the Michigan GOP nominating convention on Saturday, clinching all of the contested delegates and paving the way for him to lock up the party’s nomination later this month. 

Trump won 39 of the delegates that were up for grabs in Michigan, bringing his total in the battleground state to 51 delegates after winning 12 during the state’s primary election earlier this week. The results far surpass Nikki Haley, who won only four delegates during the primary and came up empty after Saturday’s convention.
