Trump Leads In South Carolina Primary, Biden-Trump Rematch Likely

Former U.S. President Trump holds a campaign rally ahead of New Hampshire primary election, in Atkinson

As the election results pour in from South Carolina, Donald Trump is currently leading with 59.9% of the vote, garnering 397,524 votes. His closest competitor, Nikki Haley, trails behind with 39.4% of the vote and 261,731 votes. This consistent lead of roughly 60-40 in favor of Trump has been maintained for the past few hours, indicating a strong performance by the former president.

Observers are speculating whether this outcome solidifies a potential Trump-Biden rematch, with the focus shifting towards a head-to-head battle between the two prominent figures. However, concerns have been raised about Trump's base, as approximately 40% of his supporters seem to be disenchanted, posing a challenge for him in the upcoming contest.
