Republican voters in Washington, DC, gave Nikki Haley the first victory over her rival, Donald Trump, in the race for the Republican Party nomination to run in the general elections.

Haley lost all previous confrontations, including the state of South Carolina, where she was governor, and she says she is continuing the race to give Republican voters a better choice than Donald Trump.

 Is her victory in Washington, DC, fleeting or a shift in course?

During this day, voters cast their votes in the primary elections to choose a candidate from the Republican and Democratic parties in 15 American states, including the states of Alabama, Texas, Colorado, and Virginia. Thus, this day, whose importance began to appear in 1988, will determine the final contenders from both parties to run in the presidential race for the White House in November. Next year, for Republicans, it has another importance, which is that it represents the selection of more than a third of the delegates, i.e. 874 Republican delegates, who will be appointed to the Republican National Convention, which will be held next July.

In general, the candidate needs at least 1,215 delegates out of a total of 2,429 delegates to win the Republican Party nomination, and as it appears from previous votes, former US President Donald Trump enjoys the confidence of Republicans to run for the presidency again after he beat Nikki Haley, who was only able to win. In Washington state.

With regard to the Democrats, during Super Tuesday, nearly a third of the Democratic delegates will be determined, meaning 1,439 Democratic delegates out of the party’s total delegates of 3,979 delegates, and its candidate, the current President of the United States, Joe Biden, does not face competition because he is the only candidate for the Democrats.
