NEW YORK—Donald Trump rolled up victories in five more states on Tuesday, giving the Republican front-runner fresh momentum in his push for the nomination even if his pathway has little room for error.

The New York billionaire scored wins in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island—all five states that held GOP primary contests on Tuesday.

“This is really something special. It’s a movement,” Trump said on Fox News before polls closed.

Trump recently overhauled his campaign team, bringing on new and more experienced operatives.
