In a surprising turn of events in South Carolina, Donald Trump secured a massive victory over Nikki Haley, fueling his momentum towards the Republican presidential nomination. Trump’s win in Haley’s home state by a significant margin marked his fourth consecutive victory, solidifying his position as the frontrunner. Despite Haley vowing to continue her campaign, Trump shifted his focus to the general election in November, setting his sights on facing Joe Biden in a likely rematch.
Following his victory, Trump wasted no time in targeting Biden, accusing him of destroying the country and declaring, “get out Joe, you’re fired.” Despite Haley’s determination to stay in the race until at least Super Tuesday, where voters in 16 states will cast their ballots, the Trump campaign dismissed her efforts, stating that she was no longer living in reality. Trump’s continued success has been buoyed by strong support from deep-pocketed donors and endorsements within the Republican Party, as he braces for a tough and expensive battle against Biden in what could be a historic presidential race.
