Haley loses Republican Nevada primary to 'none of these candidates'

U.S. Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley suffered a defeat in Nevada’s primary on Tuesday, finishing behind ballots marked “none of these candidates” by supporters of former U.S. President Donald Trump, according to Edison Research.

Haley, the last remaining rival to Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, was the only major Republican candidate contesting the party’s Nevada primary on Tuesday. Trump was not on the ballot.

With over two-thirds of the Republican ballots counted, Haley had 32 percent of the votes, with “none of these candidates” at over 61 percent and the winner, data from Edison Research showed.
