Donald Trump is within 76 delegates of clinching the Republican nomination for president with his win in the Oregon primary.

With no one else left in the race, the only question is which state will put him over the top.

He might have to wait until June 7, the last day for primaries.

The New York billionaire has won at least 18 delegates in Oregon, though there were significant votes for candidates who have quit the race.

Ohio Governor John Kasich and Texas Senator Ted Cruz won at least four delegates apiece.
