(The Epoch Times)—GOP presidential hopeful Nikki Haley has clocked her first win of the 2024 Republican primaries after winning the vote in the Washington District of Columbia. The Trump campaign responded by saying the win only went to show Ms. Haley’s platform is popular with D.C. insiders and not regular Americans.
Ms. Haley won the district primary in D.C., taking 62.8 percent of the vote to Trump’s 33.3 percent, giving her 19 delegates from her win. She is also now the first woman to win a Republican presidential primary in U.S. history.
In a statement to The Epoch Times, Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Ms. Haley’s victory only strengthens the object of the former president’s campaign to “drain the swamp and put America first.”
“While Nikki has been soundly rejected throughout the rest of America, she was just crowned Queen of the Swamp by the lobbyists and D.C. insiders that want to protect the failed status quo,” Ms. Leavitt said.
“The swamp has claimed their queen. President Trump will fight for every American who is being let down by these very DC insiders and devastated by Joe Biden’s failures,” she added.
The Epoch Times has contacted Nikki Haley’s press office for comment.
Earlier, her campaign spokesperson Olivia Perez-Cubas said in a statement, “It’s not surprising that Republicans closest to Washington dysfunction are rejecting Donald Trump and all his chaos.”
The District of Columbia has a record of voting “deep blue,” with a high number of voters who lean toward Democrat candidates. Around 92 percent of people who voted in the district during the 2020 election cast a ballot for current President Joe Biden.
At this stage of the race, only former President Donald Trump and Ms. Haley remain as GOP candidates after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy dropped out in acknowledgement of the clear voter support for President Trump.
After her recent win, Ms. Haley now has 43 delegates, but former president Trump is still ahead with 244 delegates. At least 1,215 delegates are required to clinch the party nomination for president and run against whoever takes out the Democratic Party nomination.
Haley Committed to Super Tuesday
Ms. Haley’s win in Washington came only one day after President Trump took all three Republican caucuses in Michigan, Missouri, and Idaho. On Super Tuesday, 15 states will hold primaries simultaneously, which is expected to decide the lead GOP candidate. Around a third of all the delegates are up for grabs—more than on any other day during the election cycle.
At the moment, Ms. Haley has said she will remain in the presidential race until at least the conclusion of those contests. It’s still unclear if she will support President Trump if her own presidential bid is unsuccessful. Recently, she cast doubt on the pledge she made to the Republican National Committee (RNC) to support the eventual Republican candidate as decided by the voters.
According to Ms. Haley, she hasn’t thought about whether she will endorse the GOP presidential candidate yet because she is still in the race and can’t allow any thoughts about losing into her mind.
She also made it clear her campaign won’t shift strategies and run as a third-party “No Labels” candidate, and insisted she’s not “anti-Trump” but looking for votes from Republicans who want an alternative to the former president.
Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
