The Democratic Party held their Washington caucuses on March 26, and a non-binding primary in Washington on the same day as the Republican primary. No other primaries were scheduled for that day. Following Trump's victory in Washington and a surge in his support from unbound North Dakota delegates, the Associated Press (on May 26) announced that Trump had passed the threshold of 1,237 delegates required to guarantee his nomination.
