Donald Trump won the Rhode Island Republican primary Tuesday, notching an expected victory in the New England state.

With 40 percent of the vote reported, Trump leads with 66.3 percent of the vote, followed by Ohio Gov. John Kasich with 22.5 percent, and in third is Texas Sen. [crscore]Ted Cruz[/crscore] with 10 percent.

Rhode Island has 19 delegates up for grab, all of which are awarded proportionally — six on the congressional level, 13 statewide. Trump was won every New England state so far this election besides Maine.

It was in the Ocean State where Trump gave a speech Monday during which he attacked Kasich’s eating habits.
