In his first comment after losing to Nikki Haley in the Republican primary in Washington, former U.S. President Donald Trump described the D.C. area as a "swamp," promising to score major victories on March 5. Trump wrote on the social media platform Truth Social: "I purposely stayed away from voting in the capital because it's a swamp with very few delegates that offers no advantage. Nikki Haley spent all her time, money, and effort in the capital." He noted that he achieved a massive victory over Haley on Saturday in the Republican Party caucuses in Missouri, Michigan, and Idaho, promising significant results on Tuesday, which is the highly anticipated "Super Tuesday."
