Trump captures majority of delegate votes for GOP nomination

It’s official — Donald Trump has captured the Republican Party presidential nomination. Here on the opening day of the GOP convention, Trump captured a majority of votes from delegates during a roll-call of states. It makes Trump the Republican standard-bearer for the third consecutive election. He reached the necessary threshold with votes from his home state of Florida, announced by his son Eric. And delegates here inside the convention hall cheered wildly as they voiced their support for another Trump term at the White House.
