As the GOP primary plays out, former UN ambassador Nikki Haley has made it clear that she's in this race to win.

Traveling across the country, Haley's held town hall events, given interviews, and rallied with enthusiastic supporters. On social media, the 2024 Republican hopeful also regularly shares photos of homemade bracelets she's been gifted from little girls who come to her rallies with their parents.

During this past week, Haley campaigned in Maine, Vermont, and Oregon. While in the Green Mountain State, she even secured an endorsement from Gov. Phil Scott.

So far, the former UN ambassador asserts she'll stay in the race, so long as she's a competitive candidate. Earlier this evening, Haley's competitiveness increased as she took home the win in Washington DC's Republican primary race.

What to know about Haley's victory in the nation's capital

In DC, the GOP hopeful won 1,274 votes, while Trump trailed with only 676. Just over an hour ago, news broke that Haley carried the district and will therefore hold all of its 19 delegates.

On social media, many of the former UN ambassador's supporters expressed hopes that her victory in DC is a bellwether of things to come this Super Tuesday.

• Vermont
• Arkansas
• California
• Maine
• Colorado
• Alabama
• Massachusetts
• Tennessee

Haley now warning GOP voters about Trump

Over the past several weeks, Nikki Haley's increased her criticism of the former president, alerting Republican voters that he's a liability to the party. While doing so, she slammed Trump as the catalyst for the GOP's numerous electoral losses in recent years.

In light of Republicans' defeats in Congress, governorships, and other offices, it is Haley's view that the former president is driving people out of the party. Recently, she said this is creating a surge in Independent voters who feel alienated by both major political groups.

Haley promises that under her leadership, the GOP will become stronger, increase its support levels, and win elections moving forward.
