Former President Donald Trump has won Michigan\u2019s Republican primary, NBC News projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victory continues Trump\u2019s dominant run through this year\u2019s presidential primaries and caucuses, despite the lingering candidacy of former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michigan is a two-part nominating contest for the GOP. Only 16 of the state\u2019s 55 delegates to the Republican National Convention will be awarded based on Tuesday\u2019s primary results. The remaining delegates will be decided at a state party convention Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump called in to a Michigan GOP watch party in Grand Rapids shortly after the race was called to thank supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a very simple task \u2014 we have to win on Nov. 5,\u201d Trump, referring to the general election, told the crowd by phone. \u201cWe win Michigan, we win the whole thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s influence in the state remains deep. He was heavily involved in the 2022 midterms, endorsing a slate of statewide candidates who won their primaries with his help \u2014 but all of whom all lost in the general election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a Feb. 17 rally in Waterford Township, his only pre-primary rally in Michigan, Trump largely looked past the contest and focused on a November rematch with President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to send a signal, but we want to win Nov. 5,\u201d he added. \u201cNov. 5, we\u2019re going to get this guy out. We\u2019re going to change our country. We\u2019re going to bring our country back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley campaigned Sunday in the Detroit suburb of Troy and Monday in Grand Rapids. Winless in every primary and caucus ahead of Tuesday \u2014 including in her home state of South Carolina \u2014 she has been focusing more on what she sees as Trump\u2019s lack of electability this fall. She has emphasized how she received nearly 40% of the vote in South Carolina and suggested her vote share indicated problems for Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hours before the polls closed in Michigan, Haley spokesperson Olivia Perez-Cubas sought to drastically lower expectations, suggesting that even a 10% share would signal an \u201cappetite\u201d for a Trump alternative in the GOP. When early results showed Haley losing Michigan by an even wider margin than past contests, Perez-Cubas reinforced that assertion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJoe Biden is losing about 20% of the Democratic vote today, and many say it\u2019s a sign of his weakness in November,\u201d Perez-Cubas said. \u201cDonald Trump is losing about 35% of the vote. That\u2019s a flashing warning sign for Trump in November.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary and Saturday\u2019s convention come amid major turmoil for the Michigan Republican Party. A judge on Tuesday intervened in a long-building dispute between former Rep. Pete Hoekstra, whom the Republican National Committee has recognized as the new state party chair, and Kristina Karamo, who was ousted from that role by activists unhappy with her management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karamo had refused to give up the post. She also had vowed to go ahead with plans for a rival GOP convention Saturday in Detroit \u2014 Hoekstra is holding his convention in Grand Rapids \u2014 but Tuesday’s court order prohibits her from conducting party business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump had endorsed Hoekstra, his former ambassador to the Netherlands. The former president congratulated Hoekstra on his court victory during the call to the watch party Tuesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen we finally get access to all of the information from the previous leadership of the Republican Party, we\u2019re not going to find a campaign plan,\u201d Hoekstra said last week in an interview. \u201cAnd I\u2019m expecting we\u2019re not going to find any financial resources. And so, yeah \u2026 we\u2019ve got eight months to do what a political party normally does in 18 to 20 months.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
