Even though Trump cruised to victory, he showed a poorer result as compared to his performance in 2020 (albeit as a non-incumbent), getting almost 3% fewer votes.[2] Conversely, Nikki Haley crossed the 10% threshold,[3] recording her best results in the suburban[4] town of Barrington, which Donald Trump lost in the 2016 primary[5] and the island town of New Shoreham.
