Former U.N. Ambassador won her first Republican Party presidential primary in the nation’s capital on Sunday against former President Donald Trump.
Haley won the Washington, D.C., Republican primary 63% to Trump’s 33% with nearly all the votes counted, according to the Associated Press.
Trump has dominated in all of the other contests that have taken place thus far, winning in some states by more than 70 points.
Haley’s campaign responded to the win by stating on social media: “This makes Nikki Haley the first woman to win a Republican primary in U.S. history.”
“Tonight’s results in Washington D.C. reaffirm the object of President Trump’s campaign — he will drain the swamp and put America first,” the Trump Campaign said in a statement. “While Nikki has been soundly rejected throughout the rest of America, she was just crowned Queen of the Swamp by the lobbyists and DC insiders that want to protect the failed status quo. The swamp has claimed their queen. President Trump will fight for every American who is being let down by these very DC insiders and devastated by Joe Biden’s failures.”
Haley still trails far behind Trump in both the polls and in the overall delegate count.
