Former President Donald Trump crushed his lone opponent, Nikki Haley at her home state, South Carolina, during the Republican presidential primary last Saturday.
Trump’s win was a big blow against Haley, who twice served as governor in the Palmetto State. The Associated Press first announced the GOP leader’s victory, acquiring at least 60 percent of votes.
Trump continues his winning streak since the start of the primary season.
During his victory speech, the former president exclaimed, “I was just informed that we got double the number of votes that has ever been received in the great state of South Carolina.”
Now, Trump is gearing up to maintain his lead as the primaries enter “Super Tuesday,” where 15 states will select their nominee for the November elections.
Despite her series of defeats, Haley declined to throw in the towel and asserted that gaining 40 percent is not a small number.
Trump never mentioned Haley and instead locked in on defeating possible Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden.
He blasted, “We’re going to be up here on November 5 and we’re going to look at Joe Biden — we’re going to look him right in the eye, he’s destroying our country — and we’re going to say, Joe, you’re fired. Get out.”
South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman (R), one of Haley’s key supporters, sent her a simple message after the devastating loss.
He said, “The people spoke for Trump.”
“What she will have to do… is make a decision.”
Rep. Norman predicted that a decision would be made after Super Tuesday.
He said: “At the end of the day, everybody will come together, whether it’s [for] Nikki Haley or Donald Trump.”
Another remarkable result during the South Carolina primary is how Trump swept to victory against Haley on all demographics.
About two-thirds of men voted in favor of Trump, and 2 in 1 women supported the former president.
Minorities also support the MAGA leader, and all age groups approve of Trump over Haley, according to exit polls.
Moreover, the former president gathered more backing from families with lower incomes.
Politics professor at the University of South Carolina, David Darmofal, said that the swift Trump’s projected victory revealed him as “effectively the presumptive Republican nominee for president.”
“This quick call is a bad result for former governor Haley in her home state. The quickness of the call will likely lead to additional pressure for her to drop out of the race.”
Awesome WE got this as long as the asshole Democrats don’t rig it again As we goes along I’m thinking ol dumass is going to convene some of those couple states to turn to DONALD TRUMP !!!!!!!
