Nikki Haley defeats Trump in Washington and achieves her first victory in the Republican primaries

MADRID, 4 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Republican candidate Nikki Haley managed to defeat former President Donald Trump this Sunday in the Republican Party primaries held in the federal district of Columbia, where the capital of the United States, Washington, is located, thus becoming her first victory against the magnate.

Thus, Haley has achieved 63 percent of the votes and 19 delegates compared to former President Donald Trump's 33 percent in elections in which only about 2,000 Republicans have voted, as reported by the American news network NBC News.

According to experts, Columbia was Haley's best option to win a primary election because of the federal district's strong tendency to support progressive candidates in presidential elections, where a Republican candidate has never won.

Haley, who until now had lost against Trump in the previous votes, had defended her permanence in the electoral race because "only a handful of states have been seen voting."

Despite his defeat, the former president is increasingly closer to achieving the Republican nomination, as he is the favorite in the majority of states, although 'Super Tuesday' on March 5 will be key, when 800 delegates in 16 states are decided. . The goal is to reach 1,215 delegates to mathematically secure the nomination. At the moment, Trump has 247 compared to Haley's 43.
