Donald Trump has won South Carolina’s Republican primary, easily beating former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley in her home state by 20 percentage points and further consolidating his path to a third straight GOP nomination, Meg Kinnard and Will Weissert reported for the Associated Press (AP).

Trump has now swept every contest that counted for Republican delegates, adding to previous wins in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and the US Virgin Islands. Haley is facing growing pressure to leave the race but says she’s not going anywhere despite losing the state where she was governor from 2011 to 2017.
Trump can clinch the nomination if he earns 1,215 delegates, but his total now is not even 100, Jill Colvin and James Pollard also reported for AP.
Haley later said: “I don’t believe Donald Trump can beat Joe Biden. I said earlier this week that no matter what happens in South Carolina, I would continue to run. I’m a woman of my word.”
She added she plans to head to Michigan for its primary on Tuesday — the last major contest before Super Tuesday. Still, she faces questions about where she might be able to win a contest or be competitive.
