WASHINGTON — Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley won her first presidential primary on Sunday, carrying nearly 63% of the vote. She won the District primary over former President Donald Trump, among others.
The DC Republican Party reported a total of 2,035 voters participating in its Presidential Primary.
The DC GOP released the following final results for the office of President:
- Nikki Haley - 62.86% or 1,274
- Donald Trump - 33.22% or 676
- Ron DeSantis - 1.87% or 38
- Chris Christie - .88% or 18
- Vivek Ramaswamy - .74% or 15
- David Stuckenberg - .39% or 8
- Ryan L. Binkley - .04% or 1
All 19 Delegates and 16 Alternate Delegates from the District of Columbia are awarded to Governor Nikki Haley. These individuals are bound in the first round to represent the choice of District of Columbia Republican voters at the Republican National Convention from July 15-18 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Haley's campaign put out a statement saying, "It's not surprising that Republicans closest to Washington dysfunction are rejecting Donald Trump and all his chaos."
Trump's team also released a statement, saying in part, "While Nikki has been soundly rejected throughout the rest of America, she was just crowned Queen of the Swamp by the lobbyists and DC insiders that want to protect the failed status quo."
While their names on are still on the ballot, candidates Chris Christie, Ron DeSantis, and Vivek Ramaswamy are no longer in the running.
The DC Republican Party is comprised of registered Republicans living throughout the District of Columbia in all eight wards who are nominated and elected to serve as members.
