Nikki Haley won the Republican primary in Washington, DC Sunday — cinching her very first 2024 primary victory against frontrunner Donald Trump.
Haley, 52, was declared the winner by the Associated Press after taking all 19 delegates at stake in a GOP primary that took place in one of the most heavily Democratic jurisdictions in the country.
DC counts just 23,000 registered Republicans.
“Who says there’s no Republicans in DC, come on,” she joked with supporters during a campaign event in the nation’s capital on Friday. “We’re trying to make sure that we touch every hand that we can and speak to every person.”
Haley’s spokesperson noted that her victory makes her the first woman to win a Republican presidential primary contest in US history.
It also marks Trump’s first 2024 primary loss — though he’s expected to sweep this week’s Super Tuesday contests.
