Donald Trump has won the South Carolina primary, NBC News projects, trouncing Nikki Haley in her home state and further cementing his status as the presumptive GOP presidential nominee. Trump’s win in South Carolina — one that he predicted for himself — had felt almost like a foregone conclusion.
His hold over South Carolina’s Republican voters proved too tight for Haley ever to pose a real threat, and her pitch as the sound, stable alternative to Trump was ultimately an unconvincing one. In the weeks leading up to the primary, Haley’s criticism of Trump had grown louder and sharper. She called him “toxic,” accused him of bringing about “chaos” and tore into the “disgusting” comments he made about Black people the previous night.
