"Nikki Haley Secures First Victory in Washington, D.C. Republican Primary"

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley won the GOP primary in Washington, D.C., defeating former President Donald Trump with 63% of the vote. This win gives her 19 delegates and a boost ahead of Super Tuesday. The moderate set of Republicans in D.C., many of whom work in politics or government, provided a different scenario for Haley to secure her first victory. Low turnout and the perception of Trump's dominance impacted the primary, which was run by the local Republican Party at a single polling location.
