US 2024: Trump Gets Sweeping In Haley's Home State Of South Carolina

Nikki Haley’s hopes for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination faced a significant setback on Tuesday as former United States President Donald Trump surpassed her by a wide margin in the Michigan Republican Primaries. The Associated Press called the Michigan Primary for Trump even before the poll closed. He secured a resounding victory with 66% of the votes, while Haley trailed far behind with only 29%.

This defeat adds to a series of setbacks for Haley, including a loss in her home state of South Carolina last Saturday and Not forgetting previous defeats in Iowa and New Hampshire. Despite mounting pressure to reconsider her candidacy, Haley remains steadfast in her determination to secure the Republican nomination.

Trump’s victory in Michigan is seen as a significant boost to his campaign, with the former President declaring, “We win Michigan, we win the whole thing,” hinting at his aspirations for the November 5 general elections rematch with Joe Biden who is also winning the Democrat’s primaries with little opposition from party members.

Haley’s supporters remain optimistic, pointing out that a notable percentage of Republican primary voters continue to oppose Trump, potentially influencing the outcome of the general election.

Her spokesperson, Olivia Perez-Cubas, warned that as long as Trump leads the party, Republicans risk losing to the “socialist left.”

Haley also highlighted Trump’s legal challenges, including 91 criminal charges across four cases, which could pose problems for his candidacy. She has been calling out Trump because of his legal battles, pointing out to Republicans that Trump is not focused and will not be able to beat Biden in November. However, Haley faces an uphill battle as Trump’s lead solidifies and the primary season progresses.

The next crucial test for Haley will be Super Tuesday on March 5, where 15 states and approximately 800 delegates will be up for grabs. Failure to secure enough delegates by then could spell the end of Haley’s presidential ambitions for 2024. She stated last Saturday in South Carolina that Super Tuesday might be her last.

Minimum Wage Decision Expected as Nigerian Labour Leaders Await President's Response ABUJA, NIGERIA – The discussions on the new minimum wage between the Federal Government and Organized Labour are anticipated to conclude today, with labour leaders keenly awaiting President Bola Tinubu's verdict on their N250,000 proposal. The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) had set a Monday deadline for finalizing the new minimum wage talks. Last Friday, the Tripartite Committee on National Minimum Wage concluded its meetings where the Federal Government and the Organized Private Sector agreed on N62,000, while Labour demanded N250,000. However, the Nigeria Governors Forum declared that any minimum wage exceeding N60,000 would be unsustainable. A labour leader who spoke anonymously on Sunday stated, "We have submitted the report to the president and are waiting for him to make his decision. That is the most important thing and that is what we are all waiting for." The labour leaders, including NLC President Joe Ajaero, are currently attending a labour conference organized by the International Labour Organisation in Geneva, Switzerland. The leadership plans to hold a National Executive Council meeting upon their return, where a decision on a potential strike will be made based on the president's feedback. "We must come back from Geneva first before we can hold a NEC meeting. We are also trying to be careful so the government won't say Labour is inciting citizens against it. We are waiting for the president's decision," added another top NLC official. The labour unions, comprising the NLC and TUC, recently embarked on a two-day nationwide strike to demand a new minimum wage and the reversal of the electricity tariff hike. The strike was suspended for five days after a commitment was made with the Federal Government to resume negotiations and establish a new minimum wage within a week. Following a six-hour meeting between labour leaders and the National Assembly in Abuja, President Tinubu directed the finance minister, Wale Edun, to present the cost implications of a new minimum wage within two days. The finance minister, alongside the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Atiku Bagudu, presented the cost implications at the Presidential Villa on Thursday. The president is currently reviewing the proposal and is expected to make an official announcement soon. When asked about the Monday ultimatum, a source within the NLC said, "We have sent a report to the committee and are expecting the president to act on it. We will hold a National Executive Council meeting regarding the ultimatum when we return from Geneva. It is very important for us to be there, but right now, we are patiently waiting for the decision of Mr President." Organized Labour's recent actions underscore the urgency and importance of establishing a new minimum wage for Nigerian workers. The outcome of President Tinubu's decision will be crucial in determining the next steps for both the government and the labour unions.
