Former President Donald Trump beat his remaining major challenger, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, in South Carolina's Republican presidential primary Saturday, according to a race call from the Associated Press that came as polls closed statewide.

Even though Trump won the statewide race, Haley won the counties with the two biggest cities, Columbia and Charleston. Haley, who was elected twice as governor of the state, currently owns a home in Charleston County. She also won Beaufort County, home to Hilton Head. Haley was awarded three delegates in South Carolina and Trump, 47. That brings Haley's total delegate count so far to 20. Trump has 110. The first candidate to win 1,215 delegates will win the Republican presidential nomination.
