Former President Donald Trump won Maine’s Republican primary last night, March 5. Trump defeated former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.
The primary came just one day after the Supreme Court ruled that Trump must remain on the ballot. That decision forced Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows to modify her ruling to ban Trump.
