Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) was the projected winner in the Washington, DC, Republican primary election on Sunday evening.
Haley, a lobbyist favorite, beat “America First” former President Donald Trump by nearly 30 points with Republican voters in the nation’s capital — known more colloquially as “the swamp.” The polls closed a 7 p.m. and the Associated Press (AP) called the race around 8:30 p.m., with Haley ahead 63 percent to 33 percent.

Haley has lost every other Republican primary so far, including in her home state of South Carolina. Haley notably spent over $76 million trying to defeat Trump in four primary states: Michigan, South Carolina, New Hampshire, and Iowa.
“I’ve always said this needs to be competitive. As long as we are competitive, as long as we’re showing there is a place for us, I’m going to continue to fight. That’s always been the case,” she said.
“If the people want to see me go forward, they’ll show it. They’ll show it in their votes. They’ll show it in their donations. They’ll show it in the fact that they want us to continue to go forward,” she added.
