Former President Donald Trump effectively knocked former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley out of the 2024 Republican presidential nomination on Tuesday, dominating her in 14 of 15 states. After her decisive defeat, Haley is reportedly expected to announce the end of her campaign Wednesday morning.
“They call it Super Tuesday for a reason,” Trump said before a crowd of supporters. “There’s never been one like this, there’s never been anything so conclusive. This was an amazing night.”

The former president kicked off his dominating sweep in Virginia, where he was quickly projected the winner shortly after polls closed.

Trump continued his hot streak by blowing Haley out of the water in North Carolina, which opened its party primaries to unaffiliated voters last year. Estimates show the former president dominating statewide, even winning localities that traditionally favor Democrats. For example, Trump is projected to beat Haley by 7.5 points in Mecklenburg County, which encompasses the city of Charlotte.
