(NewsNation) — Decision Desk HQ projects former President Donald Trump the winner of the Alaska Republican presidential primary.
Republican voters in Alaska were among those in more than a dozen other states who headed to the polls on Super Tuesday to weigh in on their preferred pick for the Republican presidential nomination in the 2024 general election.
Republican voters will choose between front-runner Trump and his challenger, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. Trump entered Tuesday boosted by a major last-minute win from the U.S. Supreme Court decision Monday that said Colorado — and by extension, other states — could not exclude him from the ballot based on the 14th Amendment.
Polls in Alaska close at 12 a.m. ET Wednesday. You can track results of the primary election in the tracker below as they come in:
Heading into Tuesday, the former president has 221 delegates, while Haley has 43. On Tuesday, 865 GOP delegates and 1,420 Democratic delegates will be up for grabs, and you can track each candidate’s numbers in our tracker here. To clinch the nomination, Trump will need 1,215 delegates of the 2,429 available, so he will not win outright Tuesday, though success on the night will mean he’s much closer to the goal.
