Epoch Times' Jackson Richman: Packed house for @NikkiHaley in Washington DC, whose GOP primary is underway until Sunday. It's at the Madison Hotel, the one spot where voting in the GOP primary is. Haley set to take the stage soon.

Mother Jones' Stephanie Mencimer: Pretty good DC turnout for @NikkiHaley this room isn't going to hold all the people still lined up to get in.

SCETV's Gavin Jackson: "And who says there are no Republicans in DC!" Nikki Haley says as she takes the stage here at The Madison Hotel in downtown Washington.

"When I'm president if they don't give us a budget they don't get paid." Applause. More applause for term limits in DC and "competency tests for anyone over 75."

WORLD's Carolina Lumetta: HALEY: There's nothing normal under Joe Biden, where he's focused more on gender pronouns than he is on whether the kids can read them. @WNGdotorg @NikkiHaley #dcprimary
