Katie Couric Instagram – 🚨Former president Donald Trump has defeated former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley in her home state of South Carolina, @apnews projected. With the result, Trump continues his steady march toward the GOP presidential nomination, which could be clinched as early as March. As a former South Carolina governor, Nikki Haley had hoped to come from behind and score an upset. Per @nytimes reporting, Mr. Trump has remained popular in South Carolina since his 2016 run, and polls ahead of the primary consistently showed him with double-digit leads. Ms. Haley has insisted she will stay in the race through Super Tuesday on March 5, arguing that she is providing an alternative for voters opposed to Mr. Trump and maintaining that Americans deserve a chance to choose a candidate. Donors have continued to pour money into her bid, giving her the cash to keep going. #news #politics #southcarolina
