Former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley won her first contest in the Republican presidential nomination race on Sunday after triumphing in D.C.'s primary. It is not likely to change the contest's trajectory. After three days of voting, polls in the Washington race closed at 7 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday. Though only 19 delegates were at stake, Haley perhaps had her best chance of defeating Trump, as he performed poorly in the last competitive GOP presidential contest in 2016. That year, he...
