Nikki Haley Loses in Nevada GOP Primary Despite Absence of Trump, Voters Choose 'None of These Candidates'

Nikki Haley lost in the Nevada GOP Primary 2024 in a very embarrassing way, especially since former U.S. President Donald Trump wasn't on the ballot.

Recently, Nikki Haley also lost against Donald Trump in the Iowa caucus 2024. After winning, the ex-POTUS even ridiculed her in his speech.

Now, the former United Nations ambassador lost again in another presidential nomination election. This time, it wasn't Donald Trump, but the "none of these candidates."

Nikki Haley Loses in Nevada GOP Primary

According to USA Today's latest report, the former South Carolina governor faced an embarrassing loss in the Nevada GOP Primary on Tuesday, Feb. 6.

Instead of losing against Donald Trump, Nikki Haley lost to the "none of these candidates" option. In Nevada, voters are allowed to back their preferred candidates or to choose none of them at all.

This is one of the "none of these candidates" options available on the ballot. In the latest Nevada GOP primary, the majority of the American voters decided to pick "none of these candidates."

Some people might think that Donald Trump will easily win the Nevada GOP Primary if he participates. However, the former president's supporters said that they would still select "none of these candidates" just to protest against Haley's campaign.

They said this after Nikki Haley claimed that the GOP primaries and other election events were rigged for Trump.

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

Joe Biden Wins in Nevada Democratic Primary

While Nikki Haley lost, U.S. President Joe Biden won the Nevada Democratic Primary, allowing him to add delegates from the first-in-the-West contest.

This victory comes after officially winning in the South Carolina Primary three days ago. It's a big deal for Joe Biden since Nevada's Democratic Primary is the second on the Democratic calendar.

This is because the party demoted both New Hampshire and Iowa in an effort to ensure a diverse electorate weighs in at the beginning of the Democrats' presidential nomination competition.

"Nevada Democrats represent the backbone of our nation: the union workers who built the middle class, immigrants who came here in search of opportunity, and families of all stripes who deserve dignity, personal freedom, and a fair shot at the American dream," said POTUS.
