Nevada Rejects Nikki Haley “Outright” in Informal Vote

A real defeat in Nevada for Nikki Haley, Donald Trump’s main rival for the Republican presidential nomination. In the “symbolic” Republican primary, which was organized ahead of the real February 8 primary and held Wednesday, February 6, in Nevada, Haley received less support than the protest option on the primary ballots “None of these candidates.” To put it mildly, it was an embarrassing result for Haley, who was the only visible candidate on the Nevada ballot.

Former U.S. Representative to the United Nations Haley has already raised doubts among Republicans by choosing to participate in yesterday’s “fake primary,” officially boycotted by the Republican Party, instead of the caucuses the Republican Party has scheduled for tomorrow, February 8. With this controversial move, Haley gave up both a chance to win delegates from her party to her side and an opportunity to engage in a direct confrontation with former President Trump. And here’s the result of making the wrong choice: Haley received just 32.4% of the vote in favor, compared to the 61.2% garnered by the “None of these candidates” protest option. And on February 8, at the “official” caucuses, Donald Trump will be the only prominent candidate to participate in the primaries, in which he will likely win over Republican delegates from Nevada and where the actual allocation of the 26 party delegates from the state will take place.

Finally, let’s not forget that the Democratic Party primary was also held in Nevada on Tuesday, February 6, and President Joe Biden easily won it over writer Marianne Williamson and a “handful” of lesser-known challengers. Biden received 90% of the vote, while Williamson managed to get 2.5% of the vote.
