USA, Haley wins the Republican primary in Washington. And Trump insults her

Nikki Haley won the Republican primary in Washington. Cnn reports. It is the first success for Donald Trump's rival in the race for the Republican nomination for the presidential election in November. Haley's victory in the American capital is not a surprise and for many analysts the challenge in Washington was considered perhaps the only chance for the former South Carolina governor to overtake Trump. The tycoon is not well liked by the 22,000 registered Republican voters in the US capital. In 2020 the former president won but had no rivals, while in 2016 he came third.

And his reaction was not long in coming: Trump denigrated his opponent's early victory for the nomination, calling her 'chicken brain' in a post on his social media site Truth . "I purposely stayed away from Washington, the 'swamp', with very few delegates and no lead. 'Chicken brain' spent all his time, money and effort there. The really big numbers will come on Super Tuesday," the tycoon attacked.

Meanwhile, the US Supreme Court announced that it will issue some rulings today, among which could be the decision on Trump's exclusion from the Colorado primary.
