Missouri 2024 primary and caucus results: Trump wins GOP caucuses

Based upon the results from the Missouri Republican Party, ABC News reports that former President Donald Trump will win the Missouri GOP caucuses held Saturday.

Trump ran against former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. Polls tracked by 538 showed Trump with an enormous lead going into the county caucuses.

The state's 54 delegates to the Republican National Convention will be formally allocated to candidates at the state convention on May 4.

The Democratic presidential primary, in which President Joe Biden is the only major candidate, will be held on March 23.

Registered voters will have to bring a valid, government photo ID to participate in the caucuses.

The state primary for U.S. representatives, governor and other seats will be on Aug. 6.

State significance

Missouri no longer holds state-run presidential primaries, instead leaving it up to each party to run its own presidential primary or caucus.

Mississippi’s Republican county caucuses are relatively early in the primary and caucus calendar.

The state’s U.S. Senate race in 2022 was eventful, culminating in a close race; then-Attorney General Eric Schmitt won election to the seat. Missouri remains a relatively Republican-leaning state.
