In a historic turn of events, Nikki Haley has made history by defeating former President Donald Trump in the Republican primary in Washington DC. This marks the first time a woman has secured victory over Trump in a primary race. The news comes just ahead of 'Super Tuesday,' where 16 states are set to hold primaries in the United States presidential election.

Nikki Haley's victory in the Washington DC primary saw her receive 63 percent of the vote, while Trump trailed behind with 33 percent. Despite this significant win, Haley still lags behind Trump in overall statistics, as he maintains a strong lead in most state caucuses.

While Trump remains the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, Nikki Haley's victory underscores the changing landscape of American politics. With the presidential election looming in November, all eyes are on the potential matchup between Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
