Trump wins South Carolina, easily beats Haley in home state

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Donald Trump has won South Carolina's Republican primary, beating his last major rival, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, in her home state. Trump has now swept every contest that counted for Republican delegates, adding to previous wins in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and the U.S. Virgin Islands. A 2020 general election rematch against President Joe Biden is all but inevitable. The former president's latest victory Tuesday will increase pressure on Haley, who was South Carolina governor from 2011 to 2017, to leave the primary race. But Haley has raised copious amounts of campaign funds and vowed to stay in the race despite increasing questions about where she might win any upcoming contests.

Scott doesn't want to talk about VP role in certifying vote

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. (AP) — Sen. Tim Scott is treading carefully on questions about whether he would have certified the 2020 election had he been vice president at that time. The South Carolina Republican is seen as a potential running mate if Donald Trump becomes the Republican presidential nominee. On Jan. 6, 2021, about two months after Trump lost the White House, then-Vice President Mike Pence defied his boss and refused to use his largely ceremonial role in overseeing the election certification process to block Democrat Joe Biden's victory. Scott declined to say in two Sunday news show interviews whether he would have acted differently as vice president. Scott dropped out of the 2024 and has endorsed the former president.
