Donald Trump wins the South Carolina Republican Primary with 59.8% of the votes, securing 44 delegates out of 50. Nikki Haley, his main challenger, received 39.5% of the votes. The Associated Press called the race for Trump based on pre-election polls and other data. The state allocated 29 delegates to the overall winner and three for each congressional district won. Early and absentee votes, which are more favorable to Haley, have been mostly counted, and Trump is expected to win by a wide margin.
