Former US President Donald Trump has secured enough delegates to seal the Republican presidential nomination, setting up a 2024 rematch with President Joe Biden.

With wins in Georgia, Mississippi and Washington state, Trump surpassed the 1,215-delegate threshold needed to become the presumptive Republican nominee. He’ll formally accept the nomination at the Republican National Convention in July.

Trump, in a video to supporters Tuesday night, called it a “really great day of victory.” The former President said, “We now have to go on to victory because our country’s in serious trouble.”

“For this evening and for last week and for all the weeks before, for the tremendous success we’ve had in this primary, I want to thank everybody. But much more importantly, we have to get to work to beat Joe Biden, the worst administration, the worst president in the history of our country,” he added.
