Nikki Haley surprises Trump and defeats him in Vermont

Vermont is a small state, contributing just 17 delegates to the Republican National Convention, less than half the number of delegates from Massachusetts and three fewer than Maine, to name the other New England states. But it was the biggest surprise of the night, along with Samoa, and the scene of the fiercest scrutiny. Donald Trump started out winning the first stage of counting, but Nikki Haley, who had been making sure for weeks that there was still a race left and that she had no plans to throw in the towel, immediately began narrowing the gap, until she won and overturned the result when 60% of the vote had been counted. Votes.

Haley has the support of donors who are resistant to seeing Trump in the White House again, which is why she has the odds stacked against her. Or almost all of them, judging by his wins Sunday in Washington, where he won the 19 Republican delegates in the election, and this Tuesday in Vermont. The candidate outperformed her competitor by four points, i.e. 50%, compared to 46% for the former president.

Two candidates long excluded from the race, Ron DeSantis and Chris Christie, also appeared on the ballot, which is why they received 1.6% and 1.5% of the vote, respectively.
