South Carolina Elementary. Trump registered victory, defeated Nikki Haley, American media had predicted the former President’s victory.

Charleston. As part of the process of choosing the Republican candidate in the US presidential election, voting took place on Saturday for the South Carolina primary election, after a few minutes of which American media organizations predicted that in this primary also, former President Donald Trump will defeat his rival and US Ambassador Nikki Will be victorious by defeating Haley. Trump has earlier won the primary elections of Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada, but the victory of South Carolina has special significance for Trump because Haley has been the governor here twice.

Major media organizations reported in their news that with this victory, Trump will get the support of all 29 delegates (Republican members representing voters). CNN said in one of its reports that the support of the remaining 21 delegates will be based on the Congressional District results. If the candidate wins in each of the seven districts of the state, he gets the support of three delegates. Any contender needs the support of 1,215 delegates to become the party’s candidate. So far, Haley has secured the support of 17 delegates and Trump has secured the support of 92 delegates.

Initial reports said that Trump was ahead of Haley by about 30 percent votes. Soon after, the former President said in his victory speech in Columbia, South Carolina, “I just won the South Carolina primary.” There has been no reaction from Haley after these reports.
