Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley won the Washington, D.C., GOP primary on Sunday, the first victory for the former South Carolina governor in her bid for the nomination.
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley notched her first victory of the 2024 primary campaign, besting former President Trump in Washington, D.C. Haley won the contest with nearly 63% of the vote, according to an Associated Press call of the race about 90 minutes after polls closed Sunday. The results mean the former South Carolina governor will walk away with 19 delegates. Sunday's primary had a lower turnout than in 2016. The tally now stands at 244 for Trump and 43 for Haley. Washington, D.C.
Trump has so far made easy work of this year's GOP primary, notching victories in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, Virgin Islands, South Carolina and Michigan. The seemingly easy stream of wins has solidified the former president's front-runner status in the race, with the campaign telling Fox News Digital ahead of the results that they have already begun to look forward to the general election.
The Haley campaign looks to carry the momentum to Monday's contest in North Dakota, where 29 delegates are up for grabs, and this week's Super Tuesday, when voters in 15 states head to the polls to determine who gets a share of 865 total delegates. Haley has invested heavily in Super Tuesday; last week, her campaign announced a seven-figure ad buy in various states set to vote that day.
