Haley loses Nevada GOP primary to 'none of these candidates' as Trump skips
Nikki Haley is projected by NBC News to lose the Nevada GOP primary. The former governor faced no major challenger after Trump opted not to participate in the contest.
Nikki Haley faced no major challenger Tuesday in Nevada’s presidential primary.
She still lost, according to NBC News projections.
Nevada voters in the state-run primary had a choice to reject all the candidates on the ballot, and they did just that — with more people choosing to vote for “none of these candidates” than for Haley.

The outcome in Nevada was Haley's third consecutive loss in an early-state primary contest.
Still, Haley's campaign indicated that the results wouldn't affect how long she'd stay in the race.
