Trump Secures Enough Delegates to Win Republican Nomination

HeadlineMay 27, 2016

In news from the campaign trail, Donald Trump has officially secured the support of enough delegates to become the Republican Party nominee. Trump is now supported by 1,238 delegates—one delegate above the threshold required to clinch the nomination. He won’t become the party’s official nominee until the Republican National Convention in July. This comes as Trump spoke Thursday in North Dakota, where he pledged to push through the construction of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline. He also vowed to roll back the Paris climate accord.

Donald Trump: “We’re going to cancel the Paris climate agreement and stop—unbelievable—and stop all payments of the United States’ tax dollars to U.N. global warming programs.”
