US elections 2024: Republican Nikki Haley wins District of Columbia primary

Nikki Haley has won the Republican primary in the District of Columbia, notching her first victory of the 2024 campaign. Her victory Sunday at least temporarily halts Donald Trump's sweep of the GOP voting contests, although the former president is bound to pick up several hundred more delegates in this week's Super Tuesday races. Despite her early losses, Haley has said she would remain in the race at least through those contests, although she has declined to name any primary she felt confident she would win. Following last week's loss in her home state of South Carolina, Haley remained adamant that voters in the places that followed deserved an alternative to Trump despite his dominance thus far in the campaign. The Associated Press declared Haley the winner Sunday night after D.C. Republican Party officials released the results. Washington is one of the most heavily Democratic jurisdictions in the nation, with only about 23,000 registered Republicans in the city. Democrat Joe Bi

Trump wins caucuses in Missouri, Idaho and sweeps Michigan GOP convention

Donald Trump has won Missouri's Republican caucuses, one of three events Saturday that will award delegates for the GOP presidential nomination. The former president, who is especially strong in caucuses, was adding to his delegate lead in Republican caucuses in Missouri as well as at a party convention in Michigan. Idaho was scheduled to hold its caucuses later Saturday. Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, meanwhile, is still seeking her first win. There are no Democratic contests on Saturday. The next contest is the GOP caucus Sunday in the District of Columbia. Two days later is Super Tuesday, when 16 states and American Samoa will hold primaries on what will be the largest day of voting of the year outside of the November election. Trump is on track to lock up the nomination days later.

Haley staying in race despite Trump's easy primary win in South Carolina

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley says it's not the end of our story despite Donald Trump's easy primary victory in South Carolina, her home state where the onetime governor had long suggested her competitiveness with the former president would show. Defying calls from South Carolina Republicans to exit the race, Haley travelled Sunday to Michigan, which holds its primary on Tuesday, speaking to a hotel ballroom packed with hundreds of supporters. In the less than 24 hours following her Saturday night loss to Trump, Haley's campaign said that she had raised USD 1 million from grassroots supporters alone, a bump they argued demonstrates Haley's staying power and her appeal to broad swaths of the American public. But with Sunday also came the end of support for Haley's campaign from Americans for Prosperity, the political arm of the powerful Koch network. In a memo first reported by Politico and obtained by The Associated Press, AFP Action senior adviser Emily Seidel wrot

'Nikki who?': Trump campaign dismisses Haley after South Carolina win

Saturday's win in South Carolina makes Trump's march towards the Republican presidential nomination appear inevitable, and leaves Haley, despite her vow to battle on, no clear path to beating him

Long VP shortlist includes Vivek Ramaswamy, Tim Scott, DeSantis: Trump

Indian-American biotech entrepreneur-turned-politician Vivek Ramaswamy is amongst the names that former president and Republican frontrunner Donald Trump is considering as his running mate for the 2024 presidential polls. During a Fox News town hall event on Tuesday, the host asked Trump about six possible choices for his vice presidential shortlist when he rattled off the names of South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, Florida Representative Byron Donalds, and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, a report in Politico.com said. Trump, 77, did not name another Indian-American politician, Nikky Haley, who is still in the race. Incidentally, following his poor showing in Iowa caucuses in mid-January, Ramaswamy, 38, had not just backed out as a Republican presidential candidate but also backed its winner Trump. When the Fox News town hall event host Laura Ingraham asked him, Are they all on your ...

Despite trailing in polls, Haley says she won't quit White House race

Addressing a campaign rally in Greensville City, the former South Carolina Governor reiterated that she "is not going anywhere" and will continue her bid "till the last person votes"

Nikki sharpening contrasts with Trump in South Carolina primary's end days

Nikki Haley is using the closing days of her South Carolina Republican primary matchup with Donald Trump to hone her argument that she is the lone remaining candidate who can unite Americans, despite the former president's electoral wins thus far and his popularity in her home state. It's a tall order for Haley as South Carolina prepares to vote on Saturday. Trump's 2016 primary win helped cement his front-runner status, and he boasts support from all of the state's top elected leaders and all but one of its congressional Republicans. But Haley has maintained that her ability to stick it out in the race, having outlasted a dozen also-ran candidates, means that she's in it for the long haul. Her amped-up fundraising could keep her going despite her earlier losses to Trump. Part of Haley's argument is her continued showcase of her foreign policy knowhow, having served as Trump's United Nations ambassador for two years, as more and more of her campaign appearances feature areas in whic

In post about dead Russian leader Navalny, Trump talks of own problems

More than 72 hours after Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny 's death in an Arctic penal colony, former President Donald Trump mentioned him by name for the first time in a post on his social media site that focused not on Navalny, but his own legal woes. President Joe Biden and other Western leaders have blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for the 47-year-old's death, responding with anger and demands for answers. But Trump made no mention of Putin or Navalny's family in the post Monday morning that instead cast himself as a victim and continued to paint the U.S. as a nation in decline. The sudden death of Alexei Navalny has made me more and more aware of what is happening in our Country," he wrote. It is a slow, steady progression, with CROOKED, Radical Left Politicians, Prosecutors, and Judges leading us down a path to destruction. Open Borders, Rigged Elections, and Grossly Unfair Courtroom Decisions are DESTROYING AMERICA. WE ARE A NATION IN DECLINE, A FAILING NATION!

US cannot be the last nation to ban Chinese app TikTok, says Nikki Haley

Describing Chinese-owned app TikTok as dangerous, Republican presidential aspirant Nikki Haley has said that when countries like India and Nepal have banned this social media platform, the US cannot be the last nation to do the same. What everybody needs to know is China is controlling all of that, Haley, the Indian-American former US Ambassador to the UN, said during a Fox News town hall. If you want to know how it affects you, just imagine by having that app on your phone, China can now see your finances, they can now see who your contacts are. They can see what you click on, why you click on it and how it affects you. They can impact what you see. And they can impact what you hear. That is the dangerous part of TikTok, Haley, 52, said on Sunday. And India has banned it. You had Nepal just banned it because it was causing social disruption. America can't be the last country to ban TikTok. Let's end it now and stop it so it doesn't hurt our children any further, Haley said in ...

Will strengthen alliances with India, Australia if voted to power: Haley

Indian-American Republican presidential aspirant Nikki Haley has said that if voted to power, her administration will not only strengthen the alliance with NATO but also with several other countries including India, Australia, Japan, South Korea and the Philippines. Haley, 52, the former US Ambassador to the UN, said that if former US president Donald Trump is re-elected a threat to the NATO alliance is one of the things she is worried about. I'm worried about a lot of things if Trump is re-elected. That is one of them, she told ABC News, adding that NATO is a 75-year success story. Haley is the only candidate left against Trump in the Republican Party's 2024 presidential nomination race. Haley, the two-term former governor from South Carolina, Russia has never invaded a NATO country because Russia has typically been very intimidated by this alliance. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is an intergovernmental military alliance of 31 member states 29 European and two No

Nikki Haley slams Donald Trump; says he is siding with Vladmir Putin

Indian-American Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Sunday slammed her main primary rival and leading GOP candidate Donald Trump for siding with Russian President Vladimir Putin. In an interview to ABC News, Haley said that Putin is not someone with whom Americans can be friends. We need to remind the American people that Vladimir Putin is not our friend. Vladimir Putin is not cool. This is not someone we want to associate with. This is not someone that we want to be friends with. This is not someone that we can trust, Haley told ABC News in an interview. When you hear Donald Trump say in South Carolina a week ago that he would encourage Putin to invade our allies if they weren't pulling their weight. That's bone-chilling because all he did in that one moment was empower Putin, she said. She said that Putin is someone who kills his political opponents. All he did in that moment was, he sided with a guy that kills his political opponents, he sided with a thug that arre

US President Biden slams Trump for his comments on Nikki Haley's husband

US President Joe Biden has slammed his predecessor Donald Trump for dragging Indian-American Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley's husband into the swirl of personal attacks. Haley's husband Major Michael Haley, a commissioned officer with the South Carolina National Guard, is currently on a year-long deployment with the 218th Maneuver Enhancement Bridge, which is providing support in the Horn of Africa. He deployed in June. Trump at a rally in South Carolina on Saturday questioned the whereabouts of Michael Haley. Where's her husband? Oh, he's away... What happened to her husband? Where is he? He's gone, Trump said at his rally in Conway in South Carolina, his first visit to the state this year. The answer is that Major Haley is abroad, serving his country right now. We know he thinks our troops are 'suckers,' but this guy wouldn't know about service to his country if it slapped him in the face, Biden said in a tweet on Sunday. Haley, 52, the only candidate against Trum

Haley challenges Trump on her home turf as Republican primary looms

With two weeks to go before the South Carolina Republican primary, Nikki Haley is trying to challenge Donald Trump on her home turf while the former president tries to quash his last major rival's narrow path to the nomination. Trump, turning his campaign focus to the southern state days after an easy victory in Nevada, is expected to rev up his supporters at a Saturday afternoon rally in Conway, near Myrtle Beach. In his rally speech, Trump insulted Haley by using his derisive nickname for her, "Birdbrain", and lavished praise on South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, who endorsed him early. Trump claimed that he selected Haley to serve as his ambassador to the United Nations in 2017 and represent America on the world stage only because he was motivated to make McMaster -- her second-in-command -- the governor of South Carolina. "She did a job. She was fine. She was OK. But I didn't put here there because I wanted her there at the United Nations," he said. "I wanted to take your .

US Prez Biden assails special counsel for questioning his mental acuity

"My memory is fine," Biden said. "I'm the most qualified person in this country to be President of the United States and finish the job I started."

Special counsel finds evidence Biden willfully mishandled classified info

A special counsel report released Thursday found evidence that President Joe Biden willfully retained and shared highly classified information when he was a private citizen, including about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, but concluded that criminal charges were not warranted. The report from special counsel Robert Hur resolves a criminal investigation that had shadowed Biden's presidency for the last year. But its bitingly critical assessment of his handling of sensitive government records and unflattering characterizations of his memory will spark fresh questions about his competency and age that cut at voters' most deep-seated concerns about his candidacy for re-election. Beyond that, the harsh findings will almost certainly blunt his ability to forcefully condemn Donald Trump, Biden's likely opponent in November's presidential election, over a criminal indictment charging the former president with illegally hoarding classified records at his Mar-a-Lago estate in ...

India does not trust US; played smart by staying close with Russia: Haley

Aspiring Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Wednesday said that India wants to be a partner with the US, but as of now they don't trust Americans to lead. The Indian-American presidential aspirant also said that New Delhi has played smart in the current global situation and stayed close with Russia. In an interview with Fox Business News, Haley, 51, said that as of now India sees the United States as weak. "I have dealt with India too. I have got to say, I have dealt with India too. I have talked with Modi. India wants to be a partner with us. They don't want to be a partner with Russia," she said. "The problem is, India doesn't trust us to win. They don't trust us to lead. They see right now that we're weak. India has always played it smart. They have played it smart, and they have stayed close with Russia, because that's where they get a lot of their military equipment," she said in response to a question. "When we start to lead again, when we start to get the weak

Haley hunts for California votes, shrugs off snub in Nevada prez primary

After a symbolic snub in Nevada's primary, Nikki Haley's presidential campaign headed Wednesday to California, where she faces another longshot bid against former President Donald Trump and again sought to tamp down any talk that she might leave the race. I'm not going anywhere. I'm in this for the long haul, Haley said to cheers during an indoor rally in Los Angeles' historic Hollywood neighborhood, where she did not mention the embarrassing Nevada outcome. With mail voting underway in California, supporters who turned out on a rainy night were eager for Haley to continue her one-on-one rivalry with Trump and shrugged off the Nevada setback as insignificant and soon to be forgotten. I hope she fights, said Democratic voter Steven Whiddon, who works in film and TV production. Though he can't vote in the state GOP primary, which is open only to registered Republican voters, he's backing Haley because she's sane, she's practical. The Nevada vote was completely rigged by Trump ...

Nikki Haley loses Nevada primary to 'none of these candidates' option

No delegates were at stake and Haley didn't campaign in Nevada, contending the dynamics gave former President Donald Trump an advantage

Biden wins primary in Nevada, while votes still being counted for GOP race

Nevada's dueling presidential caucuses and primaries this week are creating confusion among voters, and those who cast ballots in the first contest Tuesday had the option of supporting none of these candidates. Nikki Haley ran in Tuesday's Republican primary, which won't count for the GOP nomination, while Donald Trump is the only major candidate in Thursday's Republican caucuses, which does. The split races have undercut the influence of the third state on the GOP calendar. It also may have brought a ho-hum approach to Tuesday's contests, where the day started with lower-than-expected voter turnout. In the first two hours after polls opened, officials said 183 people had voted in person in Washoe County, the state's second-largest county by population. In Clark County, home to Las Vegas and Nevada's most-populated county, 2,298 people voted in person during the same two-hour period. Nevada voters also have the option to vote by mail or before election day. There was also a Democrat
