Nikki Haley Finally Wins Her First Primary - But Where It Is Says Everything About Her


Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has finally won her first primary, but it won’t instill much confidence among conservatives.

The former UN ambassador’s campaign touted the victory as the “first” GOP primary win by a woman, but it was in Washington, D.C., where former President Donald Trump isn’t much liked.

“This makes Nikki Haley the first woman to win a Republican primary in U.S. history,” her campaign said after she won the D.C. primary 63% to Trump’s 33%, according to The Associated Press.

The win was actually political fuel for Trump’s campaign.

“Tonight’s results in Washington, D.C., reaffirm the object of President Trump’s campaign—he will drain the swamp and put America first,” the Trump campaign said in a statement.

“While Nikki has been soundly rejected throughout the rest of America, she was just crowned Queen of the Swamp by the lobbyists and DC insiders who want to protect the failed status quo. The swamp has claimed their queen. President Trump will fight for every American who is being let down by these very DC insiders and devastated by Joe Biden’s failures,” the statement added.

Trump responded to Haley’s win in DC, posting on social media: “I purposely stayed away from the D.C. Vote because it is the ‘Swamp,’ with very few delegates, and no upside. Birdbrain spent all of her time, money and effort there. Over the weekend we won Missouri, Idaho, and Michigan – BIG NUMBERS – Complete destruction of a very weak opponent. The really big numbers will come on Super Tuesday. Also, WAY UP ON CROOKED JOE!”

“Birdbrain is a loser, record low performance in virtually every State,” Trump continued, noting that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis “easily beat her” while he was still in the race.

“I enjoy watching the Bird disavow her PLEDGE to the RNC and her statement that she would NEVER run against President Trump (‘A great President’),” he added. “Well, she ran, she lied, and she LOST BIG!”

Trump currently has amassed 224 primary delegates to Haley’s 43.
