Joe Biden won the Nevada Democratic primary with 88.8% of the vote, surpassing Marianne Williamson and other contenders.
In the Republican primary, Nikki Haley, a prominent competitor, did not win, and Trump criticized her performance.
“In terms of Nevada, we have not spent a dime nor an ounce of energy on Nevada,” Haley campaign manager Betsy Ankney said. “So Nevada is not and has never been our focus.”
Thank you, Nevada! We're building a campaign that leaves no one behind.

“A bad night for Nikki Haley. Losing by almost 30 points in Nevada to “None of These Candidates.” Watch, she’ll soon claim victory!” Trump wrote.
The confusion over two competing races in Nevada arose from the replacement of caucuses with a primary election by the Democratic Party in 2021, leading to objections from the Nevada GOP.
“More embarrassment coming in South Carolina …the @NikkiHaley Delusional Tour continues,” Trump campaign adviser Chris LaCivita said.
Nevada voters wrote Trump in and destroyed Nikki Haley in an election that doesn’t even produce delegates. The caucus does and she’s not even doing the caucus.
Drop out Nikki!!!
I’ve said it all along, people will elect Trump even if he’s not on the ballot and if he’s in jail! pic.twitter.com/KnkYVOGrNt

Haley and other Republican candidates abstained from participating in a caucus they believed favored Trump.
