Republican presidential candidate and former U.S. President Donald Trump stands on stage as he hosts a South Carolina Republican presidential primary election night party in Columbia, South Carolina, U.S., Feb. 24, 2024.Donald Trump has notched a victory in the South Carolina primary, besting his only remaining opponent in her home state and continuing his swift march to the Republican presidential nomination.
Most polls of Republican voters give Mr. Trump a national lead of more than 50 percentage points over Ms. Haley, who also served under him as United Nations ambassador. He could clinch the nomination next month when a slew of populous states vote, setting up a general election rematch with Democratic President Joe Biden.
“She wants to continue to make the case for her side of the Republican Party and not necessarily see the party go full MAGA,” Prof. Gibbs said. “She’s out there being the voice for traditional positions that you’ve seen go by the wayside with Trump and his supporters.” Ms. Haley’s campaign made a bid for Democratic support in the state. One mailer sent by a SuperPAC backing her and obtained by NBC reminded Democrats that, under South Carolina’s rules, those who are eligible may vote in the GOP primary if they didn’t vote in the Democratic one earlier this month.
