Weekend caucuses
The upcoming GOP caucus in the District of Columbia will take place on Sunday. the day when the largest number of U.S. states hold primary elections
Super Tuesday, which falls two days after, is the designated day for primary elections in the most number of states in the United States.
On the day of the primary elections, 16 states and American Samoa will participate, making it the biggest voting day of the year aside from the November election. Trump is expected to secure the nomination within a few days.
The Michigan Republican convention held in Grand Rapids on Saturday granted 51 out of the state’s 55 GOP delegates to Trump. However, a large number of the party’s grassroots members chose to boycott the event due to ongoing disagreements regarding the party’s leadership.
Trump easily secured a victory in the Michigan primary.
On the previous Tuesday, the candidate received 68% of the votes, while Haley only received 27%.
Due to Democrats controlling the state government and moving Michigan up in the primary schedule, Michigan Republicans had to divide their delegate distribution into two segments, going against the regulations of the national Republican Party.
On Saturday, the Missouri Republican Party hosted their presidential caucuses, giving state voters their sole opportunity to voice their opinions on the party’s nominee for the upcoming November election. Residents of Columbia, where the University of Missouri is located, formed a queue outside a church before the venue’s opening.
Columbia resident Carmen Christal expressed uncertainty about her role at the event, suggesting she may just end up standing in a corner for Trump. She mentioned that she is simply excited for the opportunity to be there.
Brand new system
This was the initial trial for the recently implemented Missouri system, which is primarily managed by unpaid Republican volunteers.
The caucuses were organized after Missouri Republican Gov. Mike Parson signed a 2022 law that, among other things, canceled the planned March 12 presidential primary.
Despite pressure from both state Republican and Democratic leaders, lawmakers have not successfully reinstated the primary. Democrats have instead scheduled a party-controlled primary for March 23.
Trump won twice under the previous presidential primary setup in Missouri.
In the previous year, laws were changed in Idaho with the purpose of saving money by planning for all the state’s primary elections to take place in May. However, due to an oversight, the law ended up canceling the presidential primaries altogether. The majority party in control of the legislature, the Republicans, discussed holding a separate session to revive the presidential primaries but were unable to come to a decision in time. This means that both political parties will have to rely on caucuses for the presidential nominations. The Republican caucuses will take place on a Saturday, while the Democratic caucuses will occur on May 23.
In 2012, the previous Republican meetings in Idaho attracted approximately 40,000 voters out of the state’s total 200,000 registered Republicans to choose a favored candidate.
For the current year, all individuals registered as Republican voters who wish to participate must physically attend the event. They will cast their votes after listening to brief speeches from the candidates or their spokespeople.
If a candidate receives over 50% of the votes in Idaho, they will be awarded all of the delegates. In the event that no candidate receives over 50% of the votes, each candidate with at least 15% of the total votes will be allocated a corresponding number of delegates.
The Idaho Republican Party will release the official vote totals after all ballots have been counted across the state.
In the 2016 Idaho primary, Trump came in second place, trailing behind Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.
