The victory consolidates the former American president's lead in the race to become the Republican Party's candidate for President of the United States in the November election.
Trump has won every primary election so far, winning 63 delegates compared to 17 for Nikki Haley. These numbers do not take into account those of South Carolina, where 50 are at stake. The distribution was not defined as of the last update of this report.
“It was earlier than expected and bigger than expected,” Trump said after the results were released. “I have never seen the Republican Party as united as it is now.”
Nikki Haley has not yet commented on today's result.
Despite the previous defeats in all factions, the Republican promises to stay in the race. “When the future of the country is at stake, you don’t give up. You fight even harder,” he said.
