Republican primary: Trump tightens grip on nomination, Haley stays in race (Ld)

Former US President Donald Trump solidifies his lead in the Republican nomination race, defeating Nikki Haley in South Carolina primaries. Trump vows unity and restoring America’s global respect. Haley pledges to continue despite the setback. Trump leads with 59% votes, while Haley trails at 40%.

Trump’s victory speech emphasizes party unity and border security, but does not mention Haley. Haley remains determined to keep fighting, citing disapproval of both Trump and Biden by the majority of Americans. South Carolina, her home state, was seen as a crucial battleground for her campaign.

Despite Haley’s resilience, questions linger about the sustainability of her campaign and donor support. With Trump’s commanding lead in the primaries, Haley faces an uphill battle to secure the nomination. The outcome of the race remains uncertain as Trump eyes the general election against President Joe Biden.
