Donald Trump cruises to South Carolina Republican nomination
DONALD TRUMP comfortably beat Nikki Haley for the Republican nomination in her home state of South Carolina at the weekend, increasing the probability he will be the party’s presidential candidate.
With around 60 per cent of the votes, the ex-president declared that he had “never seen the Republican Party so unified as it is right now.”
Ms Haley, who was governor of South Carolina from 2011-2017 and worked for Mr Trump as ambassador to the UN when he was president, says she will stay in the race.
