Trump campaign press secretary on Haley DC win: ‘The swamp has claimed their queen’ [Nick Robertson | 03/03/24 | The Hill]

The Trump campaign slammed Nikki Haley after she won her first GOP primary in Washington, D.C. Sunday, dubbing her the “Queen of the Swamp.”

Haley won the District primary, taking 62.8 percent of the vote to Trump’s 33.3 percent, according to Decision Desk HQ results. It’s her first primary victory of the 2024 election cycle, and comes just before the pivotal Super Tuesday races.

The guy under indictments for a multitude of corrupt acts is still going on about “the swamp”?

OldWoodFrame,

DC is the only place she could have possibly won that they can be like “actually fuck that place” haha. Trump got 5% of the vote there in the 2020 general election.

nilloc,

Which is why they won’t let DC have electoral votes, even though it has a third more residents than Wyoming.

OldWoodFrame,

Well DC has exactly 3 electoral votes per the 23rd amendment, it doesn’t have any Senators or Congressmen.

Kittengineer,

I’m blown away that people believe trump somehow is cleaning the swamp. Like yes, the convicted fraudster who appointed his kids White House positions where they made hundreds of millions and the guy who forced the White House to use his own hotels and resorts… that’s the guy who is above corruption and will end corruption politics.

xmunk,

What a butthurt press secretary.

pineapple_pizza,

Only 2k votes?! Seems pretty low for a city the size of DC

Mouselemming,

Well, DC is pretty strongly blue. The votes in the Democratic Primary add up to something like 100,000. Plus whatever other parties have a presence.

phoneymouse,

DC usually votes 90%+ for the Dem in the general

True!

Seems turnout increased between 2020 (1,559) and 2024 (2.,030).
