Experience the power of Super Trump and his unstoppable MAGA machine
Nikki Haley made history by becoming the first woman to win a Republican presidential primary on March 3rd, securing 63% of the approximately 2,000 votes cast in the District of Columbia. Donald Trump’s campaign wasted no time in criticizing Ms. Haley, dubbing her the “Queen of the Swamp” by lobbyists and DC insiders. Mr. Trump is reshaping the Republican establishment in his own image.
Despite a victory in Vermont on March 5th, Ms. Haley faced a series of defeats. Super Tuesday, with 15 states and one territory holding primaries and 854 of the 1,215 delegates needed to secure the Republican nomination, turned out to be a relatively uneventful day. As expected, Mr. Trump emerged as the dominant force, winning every primary except Vermont.
Following Ms. Haley’s withdrawal from the race, Mr. Trump extended an invitation to her supporters, despite labeling many of them as “Radical Left Democrats.” He urged them to join his movement, which he claims is the greatest in the nation’s history. Ms. Haley, however, chose not to endorse Mr. Trump, who is now poised to become the party’s presumptive nominee, running unopposed and on the verge of securing the necessary delegates.
