It’s finally official…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday evening, Donald Trump secured the GOP nomination\u00a0after winning\u00a0the GOP primary in Washington state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s your favorite president speaking to you on a really great day of victory,\u201d Trump said<\/a> in a video posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, by his campaign. \u201cOne week ago, we had something called Super Tuesday and it was indeed super, because we won at numbers at nobody has ever seen before, records in virtually every state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd tonight, likewise, but this one got us over the top,\u201d he continued. \u201cThe Republican National Committee has just declared us the official nominee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the race was called, Trump said in a post on Truth Social<\/a> that \u201cIt is my great honor to be representing the Republican Party\u201d on the top of the ticket in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur Party is UNITED and STRONG, and fully understands that we are running against the Worst, Most Incompetent, Corrupt, and Destructive President in the History of the United States,\u201d the former president wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut fear not, we will not fail, we will take back our once great Country, put AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN \u2013 GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE,\u201d he added. \u201cNovember 5th will go down as the most important day in the history of our Country! GOD BLESS AMERICA.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Joe Biden also secured the Democrat nomination\u00a0the same day, officially teeing up a rematch of the 2020 election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVoters now have a choice to make about the future of this country,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
