The Winner of Arizona Republican Primary Is…

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump captured the Arizona Republican primary on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press and news networks, as GOP candidates battled there and in caucuses in Utah.

Tuesday’s contests came a week after Trump expanded his advantage in the Republican presidential race to more than 250 delegates after primary wins in Florida, Illinois and North Carolina.

Trump had been favored in Arizona, which, as a winner-take-all state, will award all of its 58 delegates to the New York billionaire.

“It looks like we’re doing very well in Arizona, and very well pretty much everyplace else,” Trump said Monday at a news conference in Washington. The New York billionaire held large rallies Saturday in Fountain Hills, Ariz., and Tucson . . .

Trump, the Republican front-runner who already had been running TV ads in Arizona touting his proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from traveling to the United States, tweeted: “I have proven to be far more correct about terrorism than anybody- and it’s not even close. Hopefully AZ and UT will be voting for me today!” (Read more from “The Winner of Arizona Republican Primary Is…” HERE)
