It was a bad night in Nevada for Nikki Haley, as the GOP presidential hopeful lost the primary by a significant margin to “None of These Candidates.”
And former President Donald Trump’s name wasn’t even on the ballot.
From The New York Post:
“None of these candidates” was the top vote-getter on the GOP side of the bill, with the option receiving more than 60% of the vote when the race was called by the Associated Press.
Haley was the only major GOP candidate that who signed up for the Nevada primary, which has no delegates at stake, over the state GOP-run caucus, which will be held Thursday and has 26 delegates up for grabs.
Facing virtually no competition, Haley only amassed 33.2% of the vote in a contest marked by low turnout.
Only 11,802 total ballots had been cast in person as of 2 p.m. local time, according to the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office.
The Haley campaign admitted Monday that it hadn’t “spent a dime or an ounce of energy on Nevada.”
Trump is expected to carry Thursday’s contest, adding to his delegate count heading into the Feb. 24th showdown in Haley’s homestate of South Carolina.
