Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump won the North Dakota GOP caucus on Monday night, taking all 29 of the state’s delegates after receiving more than 84 per cent of the vote, setting himself up nicely for Super Tuesday.

       On Monday, Mr Trump was handed a key legal victory as justices on the US Supreme Court ruled he could appear on this year’s ballot papers, overturning a ground-breaking decision by Colorado’s Supreme Court, which had found on 19 December that the candidate should be ineligible to run for the White House again or take part in the state’s primary – one of 16 taking place today.

       Colorado justices cited an anti-insurrectionist clause housed within the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, a finding that led Maine and Illinois to follow suit.

       America’s highest court duly heard oral arguments on Mr Trump’s appeal on 8 February, with justices strongly signalling their support for his arguments.

       In the end, the decision to permit the Republican to compete was unanimous.

       On Truth Social, Mr Trump celebrated a “BIG WIN FOR AMERICA!!!” before delivering a meandering speech at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, thanking the court and pushing his case for presidential immunity.
