Nevada says no to Nikki Haley as "none of these candidates" take the win Nikki
Haley was the only major candidate left in Nevada's presidential primary
election but even that advantage did not help her clinch a win in the contest.

campaign attention and resources on South Carolina, likely causing her loss in
Nevada's primary Tuesday to "none of these candidates."

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley lost the Nevada primary Tuesday as voters
turned to the proverbial "none of the above" option, according to a race call by
the Associated Press.

Haley, who will not be in contention during Thursday's Republican caucus, which
former President Donald Trump is expected to win, might have picked up her first
win of the campaign in Nevada's toothless primary but it would have been solely
symbolic.

Instead, the former South Carolina governor will have to spin a loss in a
primary where she was the only major candidate on the ballot. Nevada voters have
a "none of these candidates" option on their primary ballots which received the
highest percentage of votes.

Sponsor Message



When reached for a comment early Wednesday morning, campaign spokesperson Olivia
Perez-Cubas decried the loss as "rigged."

"Even Donald Trump knows that when you play penny slots the house wins," she
said in a statement to NPR. "We didn't bother to play a game rigged for Trump.
We're full steam ahead in South Carolina and beyond."


ELECTIONS


BIDEN WINS NEVADA'S DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY

According to an NPR analysis of data from the tracking firm Ad Impact, Haley's
campaign spent zero dollars advertising in the state of Nevada. She instead has
turned her focus after New Hampshire to her home state of South Carolina, where
voters will take to the polls at the end of the month.

For many Republican voters, though, attention now turns to Thursday in the
Silver State.

That's when the Nevada Republican Party will hold its caucus, the official
contest to win the delegates that are crucial to clinching the nomination.

DELEGATE TRACKER: TRUMP LEADS GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES ON ROAD TO NOMINATION

Trump, who has spent time campaigning in Nevada and has urged voters not to
participate in the primary, will only be an option for caucusgoers on Thursday.
Still, no law prohibits GOP voters from participating in both contests.

The messaging from the state GOP party runs counter to efforts from the
Republican National Committee, which is instead urging Republicans to vote early
in 2024.

Trump will be back in Las Vegas on Thursday for a caucus result watch party —
though he is already expected to win because he is the only viable candidate in
the caucus.
