WASHINGTON

Mitt Romney has won the New Mexico Republican presidential primary, adding to a delegate total that already exceeds the number needed to win the nomination.

Romney also won presidential primaries Tuesday in New Jersey, South Dakota and Montana. California also had a presidential primary; results weren’t available by press time.

A total of 264 delegates were at stake in Tuesday’s contests, and Romney had a chance to win them all. Romney has 1,266 delegates. He needs 1,144 to win the nomination.

Only one Republican presidential primary remains, in Utah on June 26.
