Nikki Haley wins in Vermont, denying Trump a Super Tuesday sweep

• Nikki Haley won her first state primary on Tuesday: Vermont.
• She also won Washington, DC's primary, but trails Trump's delegate count by a wide margin.

Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley won Vermont's Republican primary, according to the Associated Press and DDHQ, preventing former President Donald Trump from sweeping Super Tuesday's contests.

Largely as a result of her singular win on Tuesday night, Haley added 17 delegates to her overall count.

But while Haley may have won Vermont's primary, besting her old boss, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that she was poised to end her campaign.

Trump has swept every race he's been in this year other than Vermont and Washington DC, amassing hundreds more delegates than Haley.

Haley's overall poor showing on Super Tuesday, losing to Trump in 14 of the 15 voting states, may have precipitated the end of her campaign.

Indeed, the Journal reported that she would make the announcement at 10 a.m. ET on Wednesday, citing those familiar with the plans.

This announcement would leave Trump as the only remaining major candidate vying for the GOP nomination.

A candidate needs to obtain a majority of all available state delegates to become the party's nominee at the Republican National Convention in July.

For weeks, Trump's campaign has predicted that he'll hit that target by March 12.

At the end of January, Haley said she couldn't make any predictions about keeping her campaign afloat past Super Tuesday.

"I take it one state at a time," she said. "I don't think too far ahead."
