The former president has now won every state nominating contest heading into next week’s “Super Tuesday”, when voters in 15 US states choose their preferred candidate for each party.
Trump has gained huge momentum in the race to capture the Republican nomination at the party convention in July and Tuesday is expected to all but secure the result.
He is likely to face President Joe Biden in November elections, pitting the two for the second time since 2020.
The voting on Saturday in Missouri, Michigan and Idaho were hybrid internal elections with differing rules, in some cases reflecting rifts and tensions despite Trump’s formidable sway.
In Missouri, Trump swamped his main opponent, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, winning every county caucus in the state, The New York Times reported.
Anyone who expressed an “allegiance to the Missouri Republican Party” could vote in the county caucuses.
In Michigan, around 2,000 party activists voted in a caucus convention, and Trump won all 39 delegates up for grabs, CNN reported.
