Former President Donald Trump won the Republican presidential primary in South Carolina today, handily defeating the state’s former governor and his last remaining GOP challenger, Nikki Haley.

The Associated Press quickly called the race for Trump shortly after polls closed in the state.

Though Trump’s latest primary victory seems to have further solidified his path to the Republican nomination, Haley — a one-time U.N. ambassador and the governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017 — has vowed to campaign on to Super Tuesday, or March 5.

Nikki Haley scored higher among male voters, while Donald Trump won more support from women voters. Trump had more success among 18- to 29-year-olds, while Haley did better with voters between the ages of 30 and 64.

Moments after being declared the winner, Trump addressed his supporters in Columbia.

“‘This was a little sooner than we anticipated — an even bigger win than we anticipated,” Trump said.

“‘I have never seen the Republican Party so unified as it is right now,’ Trump said.”
