How soon could Trump capture the GOP nomination? With 995 delegates he is only 220 away from being crowned the Republican winner which could come as soon as NEXT week

Fresh of victories in all but one Super Tuesday state and with no one left to stand between him and the Republican presidential nomination, Donald Trump could officially clinch the GOP nomination as soon as next week.

While it is all-but-certain Trump will be the nominee, what makes it official is the delegate count. As of Wednesday morning, Trump had 995 delegates. He needs 1,215, so he is just 220 delegates shy of the mark.

With Super Tuesday, the former president had swept fourteen of fifteen contests giving him a sizable boost in delegates in just one day. 

More than 850 delegates were up for grabs when voters cast their ballots in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Virginia.

Trump's lone opponent as of Super Tuesday for the Republican nomination Nikki Haley won just one state in the primary to date plus DC. She exits the race with just 89 delegates as of Wednesday 

Trump won every state but Vermont which went to Haley is suspending her campaign.

 All but 86 of the delegates up for grabs on Super Tuesday have been allocated as of Wednesday morning with the remaining votes still being counted. Another 11 delegates out of Texas will be handed out at the state's convention in May.

The next contest is the election in American Samoa on March where nine delegates are up for grabs but won't put Trump over the top.

Following that, 161 delegates are up for grabs on when contests are held in Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi and Washington. 

Depending on how the remainder of Super Tuesday's delegates are allocated and those races, Trump could officially become the party nominee that day, the likely scenario. 

But if it does not happen that date, another 350 delegates are up for grabs on March 19 including those in Trump's adopted home state of Florida as well as Arizona, Ohio, Illinois and Kansas.

Republicans hold their National Convention July 15 through 18 where Trump would accept the nomination. 

Donald Trump crushed Nikki Haley once again on Super Tuesday 

Trump has a rally scheduled in the battleground state of Georgia on March 9, but his campaign has already turned toward the general election and the rematch against President Joe Biden. 

In his victory speech Tuesday night at Mar-a-Lago, Trump never even mentioned Haley by name instead focusing on the fight ahead. He also took a much more subdued approach than his usual style. 

With eight months to go the general election like in 2020 is expected to be extremely close, and the Trump campaign will need to bring Haley's supporters back into the fold. 

On Tuesday night, Republican strategist Karl Rove said it was a 'strong night' for Trump but had a dire warning for the presumptive GOP nominee. 

'The high command of Team Trump ought to be concerned about unifying the Republican Party,' Rove said in a Fox News interview. 

He noted Haley won more than a third of the vote in Virginia and nearly a quarter of the vote in North Carolina. 

 'There's still some work to be done to unify the Republican party,' Rove said.
