DONALD Trump has won the Republican Party's Nevada caucus, savagely marking the triumph by warning rival Nikki Haley "it's over."

Only he and longshot Ryan Binkley, a pastor, were on the ballot.
Trump has received 59,523 of the 60,059 votes that have been counted. More than 95% of the votes are in.
In Clark County, which is home to Las Vegas, more than 29,000 votes went to the former president.
So far, Trump has picked up 25 of the 26 delegates up for grabs.
Trump is also the projected winner of the Republican Party's caucus in the Virgin Islands, which was also held on Thursday night.
He is set to win all four delegates that were on offer.
Trump is at 74%, while Haley is languishing at 26%.
