Former President Donald Trump won North Dakota’s presidential caucuses, further cementing his frontrunner status ahead of Super Tuesday.
With over 93% of precincts reporting, Trump led former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley by a massive 70.5% margin.
North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who had endorsed Trump in January, praised Trump for understanding rural states versus Biden’s policies.

Gov. Doug Burgum said, “We had a friend and a partner in the White House who understood us and who wanted to see our states succeed versus being regulated out of business.”
“Now, I’ve had a chance as governor to see what the world is like under Joe Biden, and America needs a 180-degree change in the direction of where Joe Biden has taken us,” he continued.
While Trump has won several states, Haley’s sole victory was in Washington D.C.
Haley said, “Republicans closest to Washington’s dysfunction know that Donald Trump has brought nothing but chaos and division for the past eight years.”
“It’s time to start winning again and move our nation forward,” she continued.
Haley said, “If the people want to see me go forward, they’ll show it.”
“They’ll show it in their votes. They’ll show it in their donations. They’ll show it in the fact that they want us to continue to go forward,” said Haley.
She vowed to stay in the race as long as competitive but trails Trump significantly.
He thanked North Dakota voters on Truth Social after the race was called, marking another victory in his bid for the 2024 Republican nomination.
Trump said, “THANK YOU, NORTH DAKOTA!”
