Nikki Haley was projected to lose the Nevada Republican presidential preference primary, where the “none of these candidates” option emerged as the projected winner, despite former President Donald Trump not being on the ballot. The primary did not involve any delegate allocation, contrasting with the upcoming GOP-run caucus expected to favor Trump, who is not participating in the primary but is anticipated to dominate the caucus and secure all 26 state delegates.
Haley’s second-place finish behind the “none” option demonstrates her challenges in eroding Trump’s base support, despite her claims of being a stronger general election candidate against President Joe Biden.
Registered Republicans had the opportunity to participate in both events, despite candidates like Haley being barred from the caucus after opting for the primary. This situation has sparked debate and confusion in Nevada’s political landscape, with even the state’s governor, Joe Lombardo, planning to vote in both contests. Meanwhile, Biden secured the Democratic primary in Nevada, moving forward in the election cycle.
