Former President Donald Trump looks now to be the inevitable nominee of the Republican Party.

He has won each of the first six nominating contests by double-digits. His lone major opponent in the race, Nikki Haley, says she is continuing on (for now), but she has yet to win in any state and trails Trump, 122-24 in delegates.

That could balloon to a deficit in the hundreds by Wednesday morning if Haley can’t win a majority of the 15 states voting Tuesday, because of how delegates will be awarded.
