"Trump's Trials Coincide with Potential End of GOP Primary Campaign"

The GOP primary campaign could be essentially over by March, just as former President Donald Trump's trials are getting underway. By the end of March, 71% of Republican delegates will be allocated, according to a Republican National Committee planning document. Trump's federal trial for attempting to overturn the 2020 election results is set to begin on March 4, the day before Super Tuesday. However, the primary calendar means there won't be a verdict in any of Trump's multiple cases before the GOP nominee is decided. Trump's opponents will need to gain momentum quickly in early contests like Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina to have a chance against him.
