Trump doesn't mention Nikki Haley's name ONCE after pummeling her in her home state and says he wants the election held tomorrow so he can stop Biden 'destroying' the country

• Trump never said Nikki Haley’s name during his victory speech in South Carolina 
• Race was called at 7pm and Haley lost South Carolina’s primary to Trump
• Former president wants to move on from the primary – and urged voters to focus on the Nov. 5 general election because it’s the ‘most important date in history’

Donald Trump snubbed remaining primary competitor Nikki Haley when he didn’t mention her once during his victory speech just seconds after the South Carolina primary polls closed on Saturday.

The former president didn’t waste his breath in his brief 20-minute remarks at the South Carolina State Fairgrounds after decimating Haley in her home state during Saturday’s primary election.

Instead, he shifted his attention toward the general election in November – telling his voters he wishes it could be held tomorrow.

Trump said November 5, 2024 will be the ‘most important date in history.’

‘Nine months is a long time,’ he noted of the remaining time before the presidential election later this year. ‘I just wish we could do it quicker.’

‘You know, in certain countries, you’re allowed to call your election date,’ he added. ‘If I had the right to do it, I’d do it tomorrow. I’d say we’re having an election tomorrow.’

Trump doesn’t want to lose the momentum he feels he has on the heels of his sweeping wins and multiple indictments that he claims are political persecutions.

‘South Carolina – thank you very much. Go home, get rest. We have a lot of work ahead of us,’ he urged.

Trump took another step towards a general election rematch with Joe Biden by decimating Nikki Haley in her home state in the South Carolina Republican primary.

The results were called just seconds after polls closed in yet another blow to Haley.

‘This was a little sooner than we anticipated,’ Trump told supporters in Columbia on Saturday.

Haley’s loss on Saturday marks the first time a Republican candidate has lost their home state primary election in more than 50 years. The previous was Richard Nixon, who lost California’s primary to Ronald Reagan – who was also from California.

But Haley said during a ‘state of the race’ speech on Tuesday that she was ‘far from’ ending her bid despite her underwhelming performance in the primary so far and dismal polling that showed her trailing Trump in national and state elections by large margins.

The former South Carolina governor said she plans to stay in the 2024 Republican primary until Super Tuesday on March 5, when 15 states and an astounding 874 delegates are up for grabs in that single day.

Trump acknowledged during his remarks that the crowd at his Election Night party in South Carolina’s state capital was ‘very opinionated’ – even regarding some of the former president’s guests of honor.

Upon mention of South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, the crowd booed despite Trump telling them he is a good person.

Some voters in South Carolina told DailyMail.com on Saturday that Haley has ruined any future career ambitions by running in the 2024 race and insists her career in politics, especially in the Palmetto State, is ‘done.’

Trump earned 51 percent in Iowa against Haley, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and a few other long shots. Then in New Hampshire last month, he earned 54.3 percent in a contest essentially between just him and Haley after the remainder of the primary field dropped out – and most put their endorsement behind Trump.

The former president then walked away with 99.1 percent of the vote in the Nevada caucus earlier this month, which Haley did not participate in after opting to file for the state’s primary election instead – where she shockingly lost to the ballot option ‘none of these candidates.’

Trump held a rally in Rock Hill, South Carolina on Friday where approximately 6,000 supporters came to hear his final appeal before the primary.

He also spoke at the Black Conservative Federation Gala in Columbia later on Friday, before heading to National Harbor, Maryland for CPAC remarks right outside of Washington, D.C. on Saturday morning.
