(NewsNation) — Donald Trump waited less than five minutes to celebrate his nearly-instantaneous projected win in South Carolina’s Republican primary. He says it’s proof the Republican party has never been more unified.

“This was an even bigger win than we anticipated,” Trump told his supporters while thanking South Carolina’s current governor and senators — and never mentioning Nikki Haley. Trump pounced on the early race call, which came two minutes after the polls closed.

Polls showed the former president with a commanding 30-point lead over former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley heading into the night. Haley told her supporters Saturday night she believes she will finish with around 40% of the vote or more, which she says is proof the party is not as unified as Trump insists and a worthwhile reason to keep campaigning.

In his speech, Trump seized the opportunity to reaffirm his commitment to addressing what he characterized as pressing national concerns, particularly emphasizing immigration and border security.

Trump warned against the influx of individuals, including potential threats such as terrorists, into the country, pledging to restore order and uphold American sovereignty.

“We are not going to stand for it. We have terrorists coming in,” Trump said.

In a fervent display of unity, Trump lauded the Republican Party’s unwavering support, proclaiming, “I have never seen the Republican Party so unified.” He attributed this cohesion to the dedication of key figures in South Carolina, whom he hailed as champions of American values and prosperity.

Trump passed the mic to South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster who said, “This is a great moment in American history. Will probably never see anything like it.”

Throughout the evening, Trump introduced a lineup of prominent supporters, including Lieutenant Gov. Pamela Evette and former Speaker of the House Jay Lucas, lauding their contributions to the party’s success in the state.

Acknowledging the pivotal role of allies like Sen. Tim Scott and former Ambassador Ed McMullen, Trump expressed gratitude for their steadfast advocacy. He singled out Sen. Lindsey Graham for praise, highlighting his pivotal role in fortifying the party’s position.

When Graham took to the podium, he was booed by the crowd.

“America, the nightmare you’re facing is just about over. Help is on the way,” Graham said. “This is the most qualified man to be president United States. And let it be said that South Carolina created the biggest political comeback in American history.”

Amid the celebration, Trump rallied supporters for the upcoming contests, vowing victory in Michigan and beyond. He teased a potential showdown with Democratic incumbent President Joe Biden, declaring, “We’re going to look Joe Biden right in the eye and say, ‘Joe, you’re fired.'”

“We have to celebrate for 15 minutes and get back to work,” Trump said looking onward to the race in Michigan.
