Donald Trump secured a resounding win over his Indian-American rival Nikki Haley in her backyard in South Carolina in the Republican primary, enabling the former US president to move closer to clinching a third presidential nomination from his party in 2024.
Refusing to give up, Haley, 52, a two-time former governor of South Carolina on Saturday vowed to take the fight to the Super Tuesday states on March 5 when Republican primaries are scheduled to be held in 21 US states.
"What I saw today was South Carolina’s frustration with our country’s direction. I’ve seen that same frustration nationwide... We need to beat Joe Biden in November," she said amidst cheers from her supporters.
