Donald J. Trump lapped Nikki Haley in the Midwest.
And now he has trounced the former two-term governor in her home state of South Carolina.
The race was called the moment the polls closed, and within minutes an ebullient Mr. Trump took the stage, avoiding a mistake he made in New Hampshire when Ms. Haley spoke first and, even in defeat, gave a rousing speech that had irked him.
“It’s an early evening,” Mr. Trump beamed.
But Ms. Haley, the former United Nations ambassador, is still vowing to plow on, warning her party that sticking with Mr. Trump and the distractions of his four criminal indictments is a pathway to defeat in November.
