Why did Trump lose to Nikki Haley in Washington?

International Group Tasnim News Agency – Donald Trump, candidate The leader of the Republican Party in the primary stage of the US presidential election accepted his first defeat in the state of Washington from Nikki Haley, the former US representative to the United Nations.

Haley won 62.9 percent of the vote, while Trump only got 33.2 percent. With this victory, he won all 19 electoral votes of this state. To win the nomination of the party, it is necessary to get 1215 electoral votes.

So far, several primary elections have been held in different states where “Donald Trump” was able to get more votes and win. Polls show that the former US president will win almost every state in the primary. For this reason, Haley’s chances of winning the party’s nomination are considered small. In several state elections that will be held at the same time, which is why he is nicknamed “Big Tuesday”, he will defeat Haley again by a large margin and make his absolute victory over him “official”.

Analysts say Nikki Haley’s victory over Trump has only symbolic effects. The vast majority of Washington residents are Democrats, and the city has a small number of Republican voters. During the 2020 election, Joe Biden, who was the candidate of the Democratic Party, won 58 percent of the vote.

In fact, Washington has never voted for a Republican presidential candidate with an overwhelming majority. In the preliminary stage of the 2016 elections, Donald Trump won less than 14% of the votes, but this issue did not prevent him from running and becoming the president.

Election headquarters After Nikki Haley’s victory, Donald Trump called her the “Queen of the Swamp” and tried to attribute her victory to her proximity to the mainstream politics in Washington. “Nikki Haley has become Queen of the Swamp,” the statement read. Tonight in Washington, DC, Taj reaffirms President Trump’s campaign goal: He will drain the swamp and put America first.”

The statement continues It said: “While Nikki has been rejected everywhere else in America, she has already been dubbed the Queen of the Swamp by DC lobbyists and influencers who want to preserve the current failed status quo. The swamp has found its queen.”

Trump’s headquarters also said: “Trump will work for every American whose lives have been ruined by these Washington infiltrators and Joe Biden’s failures. “
