Presumptive Republican Presidential nominee, Donald Trump has secured his outright nomination in the race after winning Washington this week and securing pledges from unbound delegates. It was largely expected that he would comfortably secure nomination after second runner Ted Cruz and John Kasich dropped out of the race, early in the month.
Nevertheless, it’s a milestone for Trump, who can now bolster over his gain even more.
Bigger task for Trump is now to secure the endorsement of party establishment and it won’t be an easy task, especially since he regularly attacked them throughout the nomination process. Some will come soon, like Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan, while others will be difficult to persuade. Some won’t even come to unite, like Senator John McCain or Mitt Romney, who ran an extensive “Never Trump” campaign to derail his nomination. Most prominent in this group are two former Presidents, George Bush and George W. Bush, who said they won’t endorse Trump over his insults to Jeb Bush, who also ran for Presidency this year but ended his campaign early.
On the other side, fight still moves on as Hillary Clinton is still battling Bernie Sanders, who just refuses to quit the race, despite a steep battle ahead of him.
Next big day is June 7th, when six state goes to primary, including big California.
