Primary victories bring Romney closer to nomination

  • 12 years ago
Having secured victory in the five latest Republican primaries, Mitt Romney has launched his campaign as the party's presumptive presidential nominee.

Tuesday's wins in Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island put the former Massachusetts governor in a nearly unbeatable position with 824 of the 1,144 delegates needed to be declared his party's nominee.
