Washington, D.C. Republican primary: Nikki Haley’s best chance to score win against Donald Trump in today’s face off

Key Points

WASHINGTON : Presidential contenders Donald Trump and Nikki Haley will face off in the Washington, D.C., Republican primary on Sunday, a small-stakes contest that could be one of Haley's best shots to score a win over the former president..

The United States' capital city only sends 19 out of 2,429 delegates to the Republican National Convention in July, where the nominee is formally selected..

Sunday's results are unlikely to change the trajectory of a race that Trump appears to have stitched up, having won all the previous nominating contests..

During the last competitive Republican nominating contest in D.C. in 2016, Trump received less than 14% of the vote and no delegates, even as he went on to win the nomination nationally..

On Tuesday, voters in 15 states and one U.S. territory will caucus or go to the polls on the biggest day of nominating contests in the presidential primary..
