BREAKING! Trump Wins West Virginia!

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Businessman Donald Trump, the only remaining Republican presidential candidate in the race for the White House, took another step toward the GOP nomination with an overwhelming win in West Virginia’s primary election on Tuesday.

As the polls closed, MetroNews was projecting Trump would easily win the Mountain State in what was the first statewide primary contest since U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Ohio Governor John Kasich suspended their presidential campaigns.

Trump was one of 11 Republicans on a ballot that also include Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Cruz, Carly Fiorina, David Hall, Mike Huckabee, Kasich, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio.

In the latest MetroNews West Virginia Poll conducted from Apr. 22 to May 2 before Cruz and Kasich got out the race, Trump garnered 57 percent of likely Republican voters to Cruz’s 25 percent, 14 percent for Kasich and four percent undecided.

In West Virginia, “Trump leads among men and women, voters of all age categories and among independents,” said Rex Repass, CEO of Repass Research and director of the MetroNews West Virginia Poll, when the poll was released Friday.

A day earlier, a Trump rally at the Charleston Civic Center drew upwards of 11,000 people.
