Former President Donald Trump is projected to win the Georgia Republican primary on Tuesday evening, notching his first win of the night in a string of contests expected to go his way.

The Associated Press called the race for Trump, who commanded 82.3% of the vote as of 7:12 p.m. with 2% of precincts reporting. Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley trailed with 15.6%.

Haley withdrew from the primary last week, leaving Trump as the only candidate of any standing. He is not yet the Republican nominee, however, as he currently remains shy of the 1,215 delegates needed to win.

A string of wins in Tuesday evening's contests could conceivably place him over that threshold.
