Ambassador Haley for the party\u2019s national nominating convention in July.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image 1 3<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Haley is fast running out of time to alter the course of the Republican nominating race. Next up is Super Tuesday on March 5, the biggest day in the primaries, when 15 states and one territory will vote.<br \/>With victories in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, the U.S. Virgin Islands, South Carolina, and now Michigan, Missouri and Idaho under his belt, Trump is far and away the frontrunner in the race, with Haley hanging on thanks to support from donors keen for an alternative to the former president.For this election cycle, Michigan Republicans devised a hybrid nominating system, split between a primary and a caucus.Trump\u00a0won the primary convincingly on Tuesday, securing 12 of 16 delegates up for grabs. He took all of Michigan\u2019s remaining 39 delegates at stake on Saturday.At one of the 13 caucus meetings, the participants \u2013 knowing Trump would win easily \u2013 decided to save time by simply asking anyone who backed Haley to stand up. In a room of 185 voting delegates, 25-year-old Carter Houtman was the only person who rose to his feet.\u201cIt was a little lonely,\u201d Houtman told Reuters in an interview afterward.Houtman said he would likely vote for Trump in November\u2019s general election if he is the nominee but felt it was important to stand up for his beliefs on Saturday.\u201cI didn\u2019t like the way that Trump handled himself after the last election,\u201d Houtman said.Dennis Milosch, 87, a Trump supporter, said the former president\u2019s dominating win on Saturday underscored how the party has been transformed from one aligned with big business to one focused on the working class.\u201cWherever he goes, whatever he does, he pays attention to, responds to, the average person,\u201d Milosch said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RIFT IN MICHIGAN PARTY<\/h2>\n<p>The contest in Michigan on Saturday had held the potential for confusion. Internal turmoil has been percolating in the party for months, pitting backers of Michigan\u2019s former Republican Party chair, Kristina Karamo, against the faction of party members who\u00a0voted to oust\u00a0her on Jan. 6, and installed Hoekstra as chair.Hoekstra, whom Trump backed as chair, was overseeing the convention in Grand Rapids. Karamo had been planning to chair a dueling convention in Detroit on Saturday, but that was canceled after a Michigan court this week affirmed her ouster and an appeals court denied her request to stay the ruling.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image 1 4<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Pro-Karamo party chairs for at least two districts held caucus meetings in separate locations from Grand Rapids in protest. However, the results from those are unlikely to be accepted by the Republican National Committee, which last month formally recognized Hoekstra as state party chair.Hoekstra was the U.S. ambassador to the Netherlands during Trump\u2019s presidency. Speaking to Reuters on the sidelines of the caucus meetings, he said he was confident the Michigan Republican Party would unite around the objectives of winning the White House and a U.S. Senate seat up for grabs and retaking the state House of Representatives.\u201cThere is not a philosophical divide or an issue divide,\u201d Hoekstra said. \u201cThis is about getting the party ready to win in November. \u2026 The focus is on beating Joe Biden.\u201dTrump\u2019s victories in Missouri and Idaho netted him 54 and 32 delegates respectively.REUTERS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump won the Republican caucuses in Michigan, Missouri, and Idaho, significantly leading over Nikki Haley, his last remaining rival for the Republican presidential nomination.
