The former president won his primary opponent’s home state by a twenty-point margin, his fourth consecutive victory.

As he celebrated, Trump made no mention of Haley, who vowed to stay in the race. Instead he set his sights on the general election in November.

That will be a likely rematch with his successor in the White House.

Haley, who once served as a popular two-term governor of South Carolina, congratulated her opponent on his victory in her speech.

She promised not to quit, however, saying the roughly forty percent of the vote she received was not some tiny group.
