EXCLUSIVE: Former President Trump, reacting to Super Tuesday primary victories, told Fox News Digital that it is a “great evening,” and that it is his “honor to represent not just the Republican Party but our country in leading it back to health and prosperity.”
Trump, the GOP frontrunner, won Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas, Massachusetts, Colorado, Maine, Alabama, Arkansas, and Minnesota by 9:45 p.m. ET Tuesday night.
“It is a great evening,” Trump told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview after races were called in his favor in 11 states, and while awaiting race calls and polls closing in others.
“Rarely has politics seen anything quite like this,” he said.
Trump added: “It is my honor to represent not just the Republican Party but our country in leading it back to health and prosperity.”
Trump’s reaction came after 11 states were called. The Fox News Decision Desk is still awaiting race calls in Vermont, and poll closures in Alaska, Utah, and California.
The Fox News Decision Desk can now project that former Governor Nikki Haley will win the Vermont Republican primary. This is her second primary contest win, following D.C.
Haley was widely expected to do well in Vermont which is one of the few states that held an open primary on Tuesday night where both Republicans and Democrats could vote.
Vermont appears likely to be the only state that Haley will win on Super Tuesday.
Leading up to the Vermont primary, Haley held an event in the state featuring Vermont Republican Gov. Phil Scott, a vocal critic of Trump, who has endorsed Haley’s White House bid.
Vermont will award 17 delegates in the primary.
Vermont had been a staunch red state up until the election of Democratic President Bill Clinton in 1992. Former President George H.W. Bush defeated former Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis in the state four years prior. Democrats have easily won the state every election since.
