Former President Donald Trump won South Carolina’s Republican presidential primary Saturday, further tightening his grip on the nomination and leaving his last remaining major rival, Nikki Haley, to consider her dwindling options.
The former president has swept all GOP nominating contests to date, first beating the field by large margins in Iowa and New Hampshire, before cleaning up in Nevada, where Haley didn’t appear on the ballot, and in the US Virgin Islands. But his romp in South Carolina, which twice elected Haley its governor, might be the most impressive of this campaign.
I said earlier this week that no matter what happens in South Carolina, I would continue to run for president,” Haley told supporters in Charleston. “I’m a woman of my word.” Saturday’s result now places the onus on Haley, who doubled down earlier this week in a speech, declaring, “I’m not going anywhere.” The next stop on the GOP nominating calendar is Michigan, where Republicans will vote in a primary Tuesday.
