  • This article contains the results of the 2016 Republican presidential primaries and caucuses, the processes by which the Republican Party selected delegates to attend the 2016 Republican National Convention from July 18–21. The series of primaries, caucuses, and state conventions culminated in the national convention, where the delegates cast their votes to formally select a candidate. A simple majority (1,237) of the total delegate votes (2,472) was required to become the party's nominee and was achieved by the nominee, businessman Donald Trump of New York. The process began on March 23, 2015, when Texas Senator Ted Cruz became the first presidential candidate to announce his intentions to seek the office of United States President. That summer, 17 major candidates were recognized by national and state polls, making it the largest presidential candidate field for any single political party in American history. The large field made possible the fact that the 2016 primaries were the first since 1968 (and the first in which every state held a contest) in which more than three candidates won at least one state. When voting began in the 2016 Iowa caucuses, twelve major candidates were actively campaigning; these were (ordered by date of withdrawal from the race) former Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, businesswoman and former Hewlett-Packard Chief Executive Officer Carly Fiorina, former Governor Jim Gilmore of Virginia, Governor Jeb Bush of Florida, former neurosurgeon and Johns Hopkins University Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery Ben Carson, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, Governor John Kasich of Ohio, and the eventual nominee, businessman and Trump Organization CEO Donald Trump. Following poor results from the first-in-the-nation caucus, Huckabee was the first candidate to drop out. Santorum also ended his campaign after a poor performance in Iowa. Paul withdrew from the race after placing fifth in Iowa, and subsequently polling poorly leading into the New Hampshire primary. Christie, who put nearly all of his campaign's resources into the critical state of New Hampshire, withdrew on February 10, 2016, after finishing sixth in the state. Following Christie's announcement, Fiorina suspended her campaign, which was unable to gain traction. Gilmore, who severely lacked funding, campaign infrastructure, and support, surprised many political pundits by staying in the race as far as he did; he dropped out shortly after the New Hampshire primary. Bush withdrew from actively campaigning after finishing fourth in the South Carolina primary. After Super Tuesday, Carson announced that there would be "no path forward" for his bid for the Presidency, effectively suspending his campaign. On March 15, 2016, Rubio dropped out after losing his home state, leaving three active candidates (Cruz, Kasich, and Trump). Trump's resounding victory in the Indiana primary on May 3, 2016, prompted Cruz's exit from the race. The following day, Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee after Kasich dropped out. Trump was formally nominated by the delegates of the 2016 Republican National Convention on July 19, 2016, and proceeded to defeat Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the general election on November 8, 2016, to become the 45th President of the United States.

  • In questa pagina sono elencati i risultati delle elezioni primarie del Partito Repubblicano del 2016 in dettaglio per ogni stato federato degli Stati Uniti d'America. Il calendario ha visto le prime votazioni tenersi nel mese di febbraio in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada e Carolina del Sud; nel primo ha vinto di poco Ted Cruz, mentre negli altri ha trionfato il controverso candidato Donald Trump. Il cosiddetto Super Tuesday si è poi tenuto il 1º marzo 2016, data in cui Trump ha vinto nella maggior parte degli Stati conquistando quindi una netta maggioranza dei delegati in palio. Trump ha quindi ottenuto vittorie schiaccianti nei mesi successivi e in particolare nel nord-est e in Indiana, costringendo il principale rivale Cruz al ritiro il 3 maggio 2016. Il sistema di voto prevede che i delegati che poi nomineranno formalmente il candidato Presidente del partito per le elezioni di novembre durante la convention estiva sono stati assegnati con metodi proporzionali fino alle prime due settimane di marzo, mentre in diversi Stati in cui si è votato a partire dal 15 marzo è stato possibile adottare metodi maggioritari in cui chi ha ottenuto più voti si è aggiudicato tutti i delegati statali. Le ultime votazioni si sono tenute il 7 giugno 2016 in California, Montana, New Jersey, Nuovo Messico e Dakota del Sud. (it)
