Nikki Haley Suffers Embarrassing Loss in Nevada Republican Primary
Nikki Haley, a candidate in the Nevada Republican primary, faced a major setback despite having no opponents, losing to “None of these candidates” by a wide margin.
This was seen as a protest vote because Haley decided not to participate in the caucuses. Although Donald Trump runs unopposed in the caucuses, the outcome reflects his strong position within the party.
The primary results, however, won’t affect the nomination process since it’s non-binding. The dispute between the Republican Party and Democrats led to two separate contests in Nevada.
Despite the setback, Haley’s team remains determined, focusing on upcoming primaries. The eventual Republican nominee, likely Trump, will likely face President Joe Biden in the November election.
