WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 (Xinhua) -- The Republican primary for the 2024 U.S. election turned to South Carolina on the 24th, and former U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations Nikki Haley continued to challenge the former U.S. Trump in the U.S. election.
Despite a series of legal controversies, Trump is firmly in the Republican Party, undefeated since the party's primaries began this year and has a significant lead over Haley in the South Carolina polls. Polling stations in the state will close on the evening of the 24th, and the mainstream ** in the United States is expected to announce the winner that night based on the results.
Haley, who was previously governor of South Carolina as U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations, has invested a lot of resources in the state to build a campaign to block Trump's momentum on her "home turf." Despite growing calls from Republicans for Haley to withdraw from the race, she has made it clear that she will continue to run for the United States after the South Carolina primary.
Recent polls show that South Carolina voters are most concerned about the economy, with immigration and education tied for second place, followed by health care and crime. In Greenville, a convoter, Waters told Xinhua that the U.S. is "facing a lot of chaos right now" and that its policies are disappointing young people.
U.S. incumbent Biden is leading the Democratic race, and the only challenger in his party is Congressman Dean Phillips. Professionals widely expect Biden to become the Democratic nominee again. Haley said she was concerned about Trump's return to the White House but more worried about Biden's re-election, adding that "all these two men have done is bring us chaos and."
The primary election is the first stage of the U.S. ** election. After the primaries, the Democratic and Republican parties will each hold their national conventions to formally nominate ** and vice ** candidates. This year's U.S.** voting day is Nov. 5. (Participating reporter: Sun Ding) (end).
