Donald Trump's on a roll; wins Nevada Republican caucuses

February 24, 2016 10:39

Billionaire businessman Donald Trump won the Nevada's peculiar and unpredictable caucuses, notching his third win in the race for the GOP presidential nomination.

The businessman has now won three of the four early nominating states, after convincing wins in South Carolina and New Hampshire.

The Nevada result was called at 9:02 pm local time by the Associated Press. With 2.6 percent of the precincts reporting, Trump had won 42.3 percent of the vote.

The Republicans now look ahead to Super Tuesday on 1 March, when 11 states are due to hold contests and could have a decisive impact on the Republican nomination for the White House.

Trump appears to have a lead in all the states in which recent surveys are available, except Arkansas and Texas, the home state of maverick conservative senator Ted Cruz.
