Trump to clinch Republican nomination in US polls

In US, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has reached the number of delegates needed to secure the party's presidential nomination. In North Dakota yesterday, he thanked 15 unbound delegates from the state who he said got us right over the top. 

He defeated 16 other Republican contenders and



has 1,238 delegates, one more than needed. Republicans will finalise their nomination at a convention in July. While Mr Trump has the required amount of delegates, his nomination by a divided Republican Party is not yet secured. Unbound delegates in the party are free to support the candidate of their choice.
