Bill Weld, the sole remaining primary challenger to Donald Trump, has ended his campaign for the Republican nomination.
Unlike the Democratic primaries whereby candidates are allocated delegates according to the percentage of the vote they receive, Republican primaries are winner-take-all.
President Trump earned the majority of Republican delegates after winning Tuesday's Republican primaries in Illinois, Arizona and Florida -- thus earning the Republican nomination.
Weld, the former two-term Massachusetts governor, pitched himself as an anti-Trump, pro-choice former prosecutor who supported cutting taxes and combating climate change. He backed Trump's impeachment, and was among a handful of Republicans who ran for the nomination and dropped out over the course of the election cycle.
