The 2024 U.S. Virgin Islands Republican presidential caucuses were held on February 8, 2024,[1] as part of the Republican Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election. Although the United States Virgin Islands will not participate in the 2024 presidential general election because it is a U.S. territory and not a state, it equally participated in the U.S. presidential caucuses and primaries. The caucus took place the same day as the Nevada caucuses.[2]

The caucus was won by former President Donald Trump, defeating former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina governor Nikki Haley. Trump won with 187 votes[failed verification], winning all of the territory's convention delegates.[3] The Republican Party in the Virgin Islands selected nine delegates[failed verification], although the number of delegates seated by the convention may be reduced to as few as four due to alleged violations of national Republican rules.[4]
Under RNC Rule No. 16(c)(2), any caucus held prior to March 15 must allocate its delegates proportionally to the number of votes for each candidate.[5] The RNC alleged that using ranked-choice voting before March 15, 2024, was a violation of RNC rules.
The number of delegates for the U.S. Virgin Islands may be reduced due to a Republican National Convention (RNC) rule violation.[6]
The Republican Party in the Virgin Islands scheduled its caucus before March 15[7] and used ranked-choice voting instead of a proportional system.[8] Party leaders attempted to oust chairman Gordon Ackley due to the disagreement, though RNC Chief Counsel Matt Raymer ruled that the meeting was not held in compliance with "party rules".[7]
The Republican Party in the U.S. Virgin Islands awarded all delegates to Trump.[6]
