Leading US Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has finished third in the Washington, DC, and Wyoming caucuses, winning only 1 of a total of 31 delegates available.
The real-estate magnate finished the Saturday contest in the capital behind Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and Ohio Governor John Kasich, who won 10, and 9 delegates respectively.
At the bottom was Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who ended up fourth.
In the state of Wyoming, however, Cruz came out on top and won 9 out of the 12 pledged delegates, followed by Rubio and Trump who each bagged one delegate.
Having scored victories only in Minnesota and Puerto Rico, this is considered a relatively small victory for Rubio who is struggling to keep his campaign competitive.
For Cruz and Trump, however, the defeat in the capital would serve as a boost to their anti-Washington talking points.
