Donald Trump WINS South Carolina 2024 Republican Primary: Nikki Haley handed a whopping defeat in her home state
Daily Mail ^ | 2/24/24 | Katelyn Caralle, Sarah Ewall-wice, Nikki Schwab,

Donald Trump took another step towards a general election rematch with Joe Biden by decimating Nikki Haley in her home state in the South Carolina Republican primary.

The result was called just seconds after polls closed in an embarrassing night for Haley who has vowed to stay in the race even as her path to the nomination rapidly closes.

Trump declared his swift victory at his Election Day party held on the South Carolina State Fairgrounds in Columbia, saying with a smirk: 'This was a little sooner than we anticipated.'

Trump's victory builds on the surging momentum he has built coming out of wins in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada.

But Trump is shifting his messaging from the primary, telling his voters they need to start focusing on the general election in November.

'Nine months is a long time,' he noted of the timeline before the presidential election later this year. 'I just wish we could do it quicker.'

'You know, in certain countries, you're allowed to call your election date,' he added. 'If I had the right to do it, I'd do it tomorrow. I'd say we're having an election tomorrow.'

The former president doesn't want to lose the momentum he feels he has on the heels of his sweeping wins and multiple indictments that he claims are political persecutions.

'South Carolina – thank you very much. Go home, get rest. We have a lot of work ahead of us,' Trump urged in remarks where he never mentioned his remaining Republican rival.

Haley's loss on Saturday marks the first time a Republican candidate has lost their home state presidential primary election in more than 50 years. The previous was Richard Nixon, who lost California's primary to Ronald Reagan – who was also from California.

> What is going to happen when ... they just go ahead and assassinate him?

That is certainly the Left's "Plan B", if all their variations on Plan A fall through.

It saddens and horrifies me that my Country has fallen so far that there are probably thousands of insane, violent Leftists with the deranged motivation and means to do so. I sure hope PDJT has the best and most loyal personal security that money can buy.

Because if they do succeed in taking him out, we're gonna see some serious social upheaval that'll make 1968 and 2020 look tame.

I don’t disagree, but I had the thought, earlier, that a major test will be a blue state disallowing Trump, though he has clearly established himself as the favorite Republican. I think that this is the reason for the persecution-prosecution.

Looks like she's catching up. She might come within 20 points of Trump.☺

In her home state. What a dumpster fire.

The Dems have absolutely no limit on their money. They have pipelines of money from Billionaires around the world.

After this humiliating loss in the state that knows her best,
she has a better chance of finding Elvis, Jimmy Hoffa, Bigfoot or the Easter Bunny than getting the Republican nomination.

So glad. I can’t help being enraged every time I see her TV ad that the implied worthless old people have to be replaced by the obviously superior younger ones or we’ll have a continuing old folks home in DC.

Aggravating.

Painting all senior citizens with a broad brush of slander is something that should make everyone angry, IMO.

Her type is the reason the old vampire folk tales had someone drive a wooden stake through the hearts. Can’t take it for granted the threat is over.

Haley selfishly wants to take over by manifest destiny as soon as Trump is gone like LBJ did after JFK. May God protect Trump.

Michigan.....

I hope you are right. I believe you are.
But remember, after lockdowns and lots more the Michigan voters re-elected Gretchen Whitmer. Really poor taste.

My fellow Michigan FReepers and I are exceptions, of course.

Go Trump.

Not so sure about Hoffa. He is buried under the goal posts of some football stadium.

I flipped on CNN to see what the spin was and there was her male supporter and tag a long Sununu on there telling how great she did and she could win some on super Tuesday. He would not shut up. That boy is still tailing her and is blinded with something... need to wash face more often.

This quote makes literally no sense. Plenty of Republican candidates have lost their home state presidential primary.

We unfortunately have an open primary in South Carolina. They had said something like only 4% of Democrats voted in the Democrat primary. I believe a lot of them showed up for the Republican primary because again sadly they can do that here in South Carolina.. but even with that Trump still won!
