Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley won his first GOP presidential nomination competition on Sunday, winning Washington, D.C., Primary, NBC News Projects – a win that his campaign hopes to get some pace before the super Tuesday competitions of the next week.
Haley, who won the primary victory over former President Donald Trump, has promised to stay in the race through Super Tuesday for several weeks, when 15 states and American Samoa nominations will hold the competition. In most public voting Trump has dominated all those states and hopes that they will expand their commanding delegate lead.
Haley took the GOP’s 63% primary vote to Trump up to 33%. More than 2,000 Washington Republicans voted. Since Haley got more than half of the votes, she came with 19 delegates of the district. Washington’s liberal Republican group, many of whom work in politics or government, is seen quite different from other early states like South Carolina and Iowa, which created a landscape that had a first legitimate chance to win.
Trump got just 14% votes in Washington’s 2016 primary. And polling expectations were also lower, which opened the door to a different landscape from every contest so far as margin was expected to be lower. Washington GOP President Patrick Mara had predicted an interview last week, it could happen anywhere between 2,000 and 6,000 voters.
“So, absolutely obviously, there’s the opportunity to win for anyone here. It just depends on what voters voting and campaigns are doing. Florida senator Marco Rubio won the GOP primary in 2016, when there were about 2,800 votes. Uta’s Senator Mitt Romney, who became the party’s 2012 candidate, won the competition that year, when 5,200 votes were cast, and in 2008, eventually, nearly 6,200 votes were cast in the competition won by the Republican candidate John McCain.
