Former President Donald Trump won the North Dakota Republican caucus in a landslide Monday, adding to his delegate count ahead of the Super Tuesday primaries.

Trump, 77, received 84.6% of the vote in North Dakota, while his only remaining primary opponent, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, mustered just 14.2% of the vote.

The GOP front-runner’s victory will net him all of the state’s 29 delegates that were up for grabs Monday.

Trump needs 1,215 delegates to clinch the GOP nomination for president.

With wins in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, the US Virgin Islands, Idaho, Missouri, Michigan and now North Dakota, the former president has secured 273 delegates so far.

Haley, who has only placed first in the Washington, DC, Republican primary, has 43 delegates.

More than 800 delegates will be at stake Tuesday in the 15 states that will hold GOP caucuses and primaries.  

Trump leads Haley by at least 37 points in the California, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia races, according to FiveThirtyEight.

The former president, hoping for a Super Tuesday sweep, urged his supporters to show up to the polls.

“Get out to vote tomorrow … because we want to send a signal that we’re coming — this freight train’s coming,” he said in an interview with Right Side Broadcasting Network Monday.

“Tomorrow is the big day. They call it Super Tuesday for a reason. I think it’s going to be record setting,” he added.

In a memo released last month, Trump’s campaign team predicted he’d clinch the GOP nomination by around March 12 — when Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi and Washington state hold their contests.

Haley has no clear path to the nomination, but has vowed to stay in the race until at least Super Tuesday.

Trump easily beat Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden in North Dakota in 2016 and 2020, winning with about  63% and 65% of the vote, respectively.
