2024 GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley had a rough showing in Nevada on Tuesday as Silver State voters made their choice loud and clear in the primary contest: “None of These Candidates.”
Former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump did not compete in the primary which does not award any delegates. Trump is instead focused on caucuses that will be held Thursday.
From NEWSMAX:
That leaves the results Tuesday as technically meaningless in the Republican race. But they still amount to an embarrassment for Haley, who has sought to position herself as a candidate who can genuinely compete against Trump. Instead, she became the first presidential candidate from either party to lose a race to “none of these candidates” since that option was introduced in Nevada in 1975.
Haley had said beforehand she was going to “focus on the states that are fair” and did not campaign in the western state in the weeks leading up to the caucuses, spending time instead in her home state, South Carolina, before its Feb. 24 primary. Her campaign wrote off the results with a reference to Nevada’s famous casino industry.
“A bad night for Nikki Haley: Losing by almost 30 points in Nevada to ‘None of These Candidates,'” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Watch, she’ll soon claim victory!”
