Take a look at the 4 key points of Trump’s victory in the South Carolina primary
(AFP, Charleston, South Carolina, 24th) Former US President Trump easily won the South Carolina primary today, not only defeating his opponent Haley, but also one step closer to the Republican nomination. He is seeking to return to the White House to start his second term. second presidential term.
There are four key points worth noting in the South Carolina primary election.
The first is that Donald Trump won at an alarming rate. Trump has won all four of the first four Republican nomination battles, and his support in polls is almost twice that of Nikki Haley. The result of the Republican nomination is almost a foregone conclusion when it is announced early, and disputes are unlikely to arise.
Some experts believed before the election that Haley would do well if he only lost 15% or less to Trump in the South Carolina primary. However, with most of the votes completed, the gap between the two seems to be approaching 20%.
Second, Haley has no home field advantage. The primary race is a tough one for Haley anywhere in the country, and her more optimistic supporters have viewed her home state of South Carolina as a haven in the storm.
Haley, a 52-year-old conservative who has the style of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, was quite popular when she was governor of South Carolina and was known for her advocacy of cost-cutting, smaller government and tax cuts. Such advocacy allowed her to serve as governor for two terms from 2011 to 2017.
However, Haley’s defeat in South Carolina was not so much her own fault, but actually more related to the loyalty of the people of South Carolina to Trump, coupled with the submissive attitude of the political establishment, who wholeheartedly supported Trump. A candidate who was once viewed as a political outsider.
South Carolina’s two U.S. senators and five of the six Republican U.S. House of Representatives have publicly supported Trump.
Third, Trump’s election prospects continue to be bullish. By winning South Carolina, Trump has won most of the country more than once, carving a V for victory in the Northeast, Midwest, South and West.
Trump’s performance in South Carolina was calmer and more focused than before. He made no mention of Haley. At the same time, he indicated that his mood had transcended the primary campaign and was setting his sights on the November presidential election.
Outsiders expect the Trump campaign to follow a similar pattern in the coming weeks, focusing on calling current President Joe Biden a catastrophe to the United States rather than focusing on the poll gap with Haley.
Fourth, Haley still refuses to quit. She officially stated a few days before the primary that she would be fully committed to the campaign at least until “Super Tuesday” on March 5, when 16 states and territories in the United States will hold primaries for the Republican presidential nomination.
“In the next 10 days, 21 more states and territories are going to have their voices heard,” Haley told supporters at a watch party tonight. “They have the right to have a real choice rather than just one candidate.” Soviet-style elections.”
