Reuters - Donald Trump won the North Dakota Republican caucus on Monday, according to a projection by Edison Research, ahead of a series of contests known as Super Tuesday, when he is expected to further strengthen his hold on the party's presidential nomination.

In North Dakota, former US President Trump easily defeated Nikki Haley, his last rival in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Trump is expected to dominate Tuesday's elections, when 15 states and one US territory vote on the biggest day of the primary calendar.

Former U.S. ambassador to the UN Haley won her first nomination contest on Sunday in the Washington, D.C. primaries, but she does not have a clear path to the nomination in a primary season in which Trump won the first eight contests and is expected to take almost all the remaining ones going forward.

Trump is focused on a likely rematch in the November general election with US President, Democrat Joe Biden.
