Although being the first woman from the Republican Party ever to win the preliminary elections she has very little chances in winning over Trump and getting the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential elections.

Donald Trump's campaign team has not acted very respectably regarding the Haley's succes. They despised the Washindton DC as lobbyist and conspirated place where the establishment made the outcome happen. We quote after the BBC News:

While Nikki has been soundly rejected throughout the rest of America, she was just crowned Queen of the Swamp by the lobbyists and DC insiders that want to protect the failed status quo. The swamp has claimed their queen,

They deemed her to be "The Queen of the Swamp," but the side of Haley has struck back, we quote after The Guardian:

It’s not surprising that Republicans closest to Washington dysfunction are rejecting Donald Trump and all his chaos,

The succes does not guarantee anything for Haley, in fact she is in quite dire position as Donald Trump has won 8 preliminaries in the row and Haley has almost no chances of winning a nomination.

The results of the preliminaries were as follows:

Nikki Haley has gained 62.8% of the votes, almost double that of Donald Trump, who managed to gather only 33.3% of the votes. The two have gathered almost all of the votes. Ron deSantis made a symbolical contest gaining 1.9%, similarly negligible to the result of Chris Christie who was closing the list on the result of 0.9% of the votes.

The presidential elections are going to be held in November. The key issue for Donald Trump and Nikki Haley are the legal troubles of Trump and extremely complicated financial situation of the Rebulican Party's funds for the presidentail campaign. Nikki Haley's only chance of being the Republican Party candidate ofr the presidential elections are Donald Trump's legal issues. Should he be convicted Haley could aquire the nomination. The situation on the right side of the American political scene has not been so tense for many years.
