Trump Wins Michigan GOP Primary By 34 Points

The New York Times reports:

Former President Donald J. Trump won Michigan’s Republican presidential primary election on Tuesday, moving closer to a general election rematch against President Biden. Mr. Trump’s victory over Nikki Haley extends an unbroken streak in the nominating contests. Michigan is his sixth straight triumph, and it is his second, after Nevada, in a state expected to be a crucial battleground come November.

“We win Michigan, we win the whole thing,” Mr. Trump told supporters at the Michigan G.O.P. watch party. As of 10:45 p.m. Eastern time, Mr. Trump had 67 percent of the vote to Ms. Haley’s 28 percent, while 3 percent had marked ballots for “uncommitted.” Mr. Trump said in a radio interview earlier in the day that he expected Ms. Haley would “lose like by 80 points.”
