A tweet by GOP confirms that President Trump has earned enough delegates to be 2020 presumptive Republican Presidential nominee.President Donald Trump has clinched the Republican nomination, crossing the necessary delegate threshold in his re-election bid. With two primary wins on March 17, 2020, Trump swept past the 1,276 delegates needed to secure the nomination. He did it two months earlier than he did in 2016. Lack of major opposition and GOP rule changes helped him win the nomination the earliest day the delegated calendar allows.

His one opposition, Bill Weld, the former Massachusetts governor, won just a single delegate in his attempt to provide an alternative to Trump. The U.S. elections will take place in November 2020.
