Nikki Haley scores a surprise upset against Trump in Vermont, AP projects, racking up her second win of GOP nomination contest
The former U.N. ambassador beat Donald Trump in Vermont, the Associated Press reported, despite lagging far behind him in the GOP delegate count. Haley also triumphed in the D.C. primary Sunday. A third of delegates are awarded tonight — still not enough for Trump to clinch the nod. Haley had committed to staying in the race at least until Super Tuesday.
Former president Donald Trump and President Biden are dominating Super Tuesday contests with roughly one-third of the delegates at stake that will determine the Republican and Democratic party nominations. Trump’s last remaining major Republican challenger, Nikki Haley scored her first state victory of 2024 with a win in Vermont. Voters in 15 states are participating in primaries or caucuses.
The contests are taking place a day after the Supreme Court unanimously sided with Trump, allowing him to stay on the Colorado ballot. Colorado is among the states holding nominating contests Tuesday.
Tuesday also kicked off the first House and Senate primaries of the year. Among the marquee matchups: a primary for a U.S. Senate seat in California.
