Trump is likely to expand his delegate lead on Monday night, when North Dakota holds GOP caucuses on the eve of Super Tuesday. That is when more than 850 delegates are at stake as 15 states hold Republican nominating contests, and the scant public opinion polling in those states indicates Trump is the favorite.

The former president kicked off the weekend by capturing all 39 delegates up for grabs at the Michigan GOP's party convention, which was held in Grand Rapids. Trump had previously won most of the 16 delegates awarded in Michigan's statewide primary on Feb. 27.
