Former President Donald Trump on Saturday won handily in three states over the weekend, which awarded even more delegates for the GOP presidential nomination.

Idaho and Missouri conducted primary elections, with President Trump taking the majority of the two states’ delegates. In Michigan, Republicans at a Grand Rapids convention awarded the former president all the delegates that could be allocated, which is in addition to the 12 at-large delegates he won last week in the primary.
