Nikki Haley loses Nevada Republican primary to ‘none of these candidates’

Nikki Haley suffered an embarrassing loss in the Republican presidential primary in Nevada Tuesday, receiving fewer votes than the "none of these candidates" option, according to the Associated Press.

It was a contest that former President Trump did not compete in and which the state party tried to have canceled. Nonetheless, a combination of intense support for Trump and distaste for Haley among Republican voters in the state combined to deal her an unusual humiliation.


Trump will be on the Nevada ballot later this week
Trump is expected to win the Republican caucuses on Thursday. That contest, and not the primary, will decide who wins Nevada’s 26 delegates. The eventual winner of the Republican presidential primary will need to win 1,215 delegates to clinch the nomination. Trump has 33 delegates to Haley’s 17.

Haley’s campaign manager said this week that the Nevada caucuses are “rigged for Trump” and said that Haley had “not spent a dime nor an ounce of energy on Nevada.” Because Haley competed in the primary, the Republican Party ruled that she was forbidden to compete in the caucuses.
