Nikki Haley won her first primary – in Washington

Trump’s rival for the presidential nomination from the Republican Party, Nikki Haley, won her first primary – in Washington.

Nikki Haley won 62.9% of the vote, while Donald Trump – 33.2%.

A victory for Haley would give her 19 delegates, a very small fraction of the 1,215 delegates needed for the nomination.

The first eight “competitions” were won by Trump by a significant margin, even in South Carolina, which is his rival’s home state.

The fact that she managed to bypass Trump in Washington, made Haley the first woman to win the Republican primary in the history of the United States.

A day earlier, Trump won at once in three US states – Missouri, Michigan and Idaho.

The next key date in this race is Super Tuesday, March 5, when 15 states go to the polls.

If Trump wins today, then on March 20 – when the primaries end – he will be able to declare that he has become the Republican candidate.
