It’s official: Trump clinches GOP nomination in Cleveland

After receiving the most primary votes for any Republican candidate in history and achieving 1,725 delegates, businessman Donald Trump has won the GOP nomination for President of the United States.

No one saw this coming a little over a year ago when the primaries started, analysts, voters and pundits alike.

And yet, Trump’s unapologetically nationalist vision for the country has resonated with the GOP base in a way that no candidate has in recent memory.

Though the speakers at this year’s convention in Cleveland have been anything but orthodox, including “Duck Dynasty” star Willie Robertson and President of the UFC Dana White, there was a traditional moment of pomp and circumstance when Donald Trump Jr. delivered the delegate votes from New York to put Trump over the 1,237 vote threshold to clinch the nomination.

“Congratulations dad, we love you,” Trump Jr. said as he delivered the votes, a moment he called “one of the great honors of his life” in an emotional speech later that night.

However, there still are a number of GOP voters who don’t want to see Trump in the White House, and  #NeverTrump is still making appearances on social media.

Whether or not a mutiny in the GOP is in the works remains to be seen, as the general election approaches and Trump gets set to square off against Hillary Clinton.
