Trump reacts to win in South Carolina

Former president Donald Trump is projected to defeat Nikki Haley in the South Carolina GOP primary, the Associated Press reports. Mr Trump secured an expected victory over Ms Haley in her home state, where she served as governor from 2011 to 2017. Just thirty minutes after polling closed, CNN reports Mr Trump won more than 60 per cent of the vote. The former UN ambassador has vowed to continue fighting Mr Trump despite her many primary losses. Ms Haley stayed resolute going into Saturday’s race, even after losing to the “none of these candidates” box listed on Nevada ballot papers earlier this month.
