Haley Trounced By “None Of These Candidates’ In Nevada

February 7, 2024 5:01 am

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nikki Haley has been swamped in Nevada’s symbolic Republican presidential primary as GOP voters resoundingly picked the “none of these candidates” option on the ballot. Front-runner Donald Trump didn’t compete in the primary, which doesn’t award any delegates needed to win the GOP nomination. The former president is instead focused on caucuses that will be held Thursday and will help him move closer to becoming the Republican standard-bearer. That leaves the Republican results Tuesday technically meaningless. But they still amount to an embarrassment for Haley, the former U.N. ambassador who has sought to position herself as a candidate who can genuinely compete against Trump. President Joe Biden easily won the state’s Democratic primary.
