Donald Trump is leading in the GOP primaries. To date, he has far more delegates than Nikki Haley. Polls have suggested Haley is behind Trump in many upcoming primary states.
Yet the former Trump official has refused to quit the race. This comes as major donors pull support from Haley, convinced she cannot win.
Over the weekend, the city of Washington, DC went to the primary polls. And, in what might shock some people, so-called RINO Nikki Haley ran away with the race.
From The Post Millennial:
Nikki Haley, the ex-Governor of South Carolina, secured victory in the Republican presidential nomination race on Sunday by winning the primary in Washington, DC…Keen observers has predicted that Haley might have success in Washington, DC, given the establishment’s disdain for President Trump, leader of the America First movement.
Nikki Haley is celebrating after her first primary win against Donald Trump. She won in D.C., earning 19 delegates. She will surely use this victory as proof she needs to keep running and can overcome Trump’s growing lead.
But soon after Haley won in DC, Trump crowned her with a new nickname.
From The Post Millennial:
“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.“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.”
Trump called Haley “Queen of the Swamp” after she won the DC GOP primary. He claimed she won thanks to “lobbyists and DC insiders” who want to keep the “status quo.”
Haley has lost favor with conservative voters after seemingly endorsing globalist ideas. She even suggested forcing social media users to display their real names, which is considered an attack on free speech.
Some Trump supporters think of Haley as a RINO, so they will not be surprised that she won DC. Primary voters were mostly career government workers not to mention lobbyists who influence government policy.
This win might end up hurting Haley’s chances among voters outside the liberal city.
Key Takeaways:
- Nikki Haley won her first primary battle against Donald Trump.
- She picked up 19 delegates after winning in Washington, DC.
- Trump called her “Queen of the Swamp” saying lobbyists voted for her.
