South Carolina Presidential Primary Election Results: Trump wins

Name: additionalTaxonomy
Creator: NBC News

Republican voters in South Carolina voted to nominate former President Donald Trump, preferring him over former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. The state has 50 delegates at stake , and Trump won nearly all of them, with Haley nabbing three delegates. As a former governor of the state, Haley had hoped to parlay her success in twice winning elections there to propel her over Trump. But his popularity proved insurmountable. Five other candidates will also appear on the ballot, including two Republicans who have already withdrawn from the race.

The expected vote is the total number of votes that are expected in a given race once all votes are counted. This number is an estimate and is based on several different factors, including information on the number of votes cast early as well as information provided to our vote reporters on Election Day from county election officials. The figure can change as NBC News gathers new information.
