Former President Donald Trump did not participate in the Republican presidential primary in Nevada, where voters could choose “none of these candidates” in lieu of writing in his name.
Nikki Haley, his main competitor, did not focus on the state and disregarded the primary results.
“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.”
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!!!

Trump criticized Haley’s loss in Nevada and is set to appear on the ballot in the presidential caucus.
“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 said.
The confusion arose from the Democrats replacing caucuses with a primary election, leading to legal disputes.
The Nevada GOP’s bias towards Trump led some candidates to abstain from participating in the caucus.
“More embarrassment coming in South Carolina …the @NikkiHaley Delusional Tour continues,” Trump campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita said.
Trump’s campaign emphasized the importance of the caucus vote over the primary.
“Your primary vote doesn’t mean anything. It’s your caucus vote,” Trump said in Las Vegas. “So in your state, you have both the primary and a caucus. Don’t worry about the primary; just do the caucus thing.”
Nevada’s upcoming campaign activities are expected to intensify as it is a crucial battleground state for the general election.
