Trump wins Washington primary

United States, Donald Trump today cruised to victory in the Washington state primary and was just one step away from clinching the Republican presidential nomination in the November polls. The victory winning at least 40 of Washington's delegates means Trump now has 1,229 of the 1,237 delegates he needs to clinch the GOP nomination,according to an estimates.

Trump's victory, however, was overshadowed by the clashes between anti-Trump protesters and police outside his event in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Trump is the only Republican candidate left in the race to the White House from the Republican party, which was crowded with as many as 17 candidates at the start of the primary season early this year.

On the other hand, the race to the White House in the Democratic party which had just three candidates at the start of this year, is still open. While 68-year-old Clinton is likely to clinch the nomination because of the lead she has in delegate count, her opponent Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont has refused to call off the race till the last vote in the primary election is cast.
