LAS VEGAS - Former President Donald Trump wasn't on the ballot in Tuesday's Republican presidential primary in the early voting state of Nevada.
But his absence wasn't enough to help secure a victory for his last remaining major rival for the 2024 GOP nomination – Nikki Haley.
Voters casting ballots in the state-run Republican nominating contest couldn't write in Trump's name, but they could vote for a "none of these candidates" option.
And the Associated Press projected that the "none of these candidates" option would defeat Haley in a primary where no delegates to this summer's Republican convention were at stake. Trump supporters Fox News spoke with at polling stations said they were casting a ballot for "none of these candidates."

As the vote count continued, the former president took to his Truth Social network to take aim at Haley.
"A bad night for Nikki Haley. Losing by almost 30 points in Nevada to "None of These Candidates." Watch, she’ll soon claim Victory!" he argued.
And Trump campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita pointed towards Haley's home state, which holds the next major contest in the GOP nominating calendar on Feb. 24.
"More embarrassment coming in South Carolina …the @NikkiHaley Delusional Tour continues,' LaCivita claimed in a social media post.

Those are, just, the ones that signed affadavits!
she could have been beaten by a rotten tomato with moldy purple spots.
She should hang her head in shame. Poor ole girl will never live this down.
I can only imagine the spin and whine she will come up with before she takes another beating in her home state.
His top competitor in the race is NOBODY.
NOT even 70 K votes
She has screwed up her chances from now on. DeSantis came close to the same, I “HOPE” he is still viable for 28.
Everybody remember “choosing up sides” for games when we were kids? This is Nimrata not being chosen by either side...and being relegated to the sidelines...
i like that she is staying in
there is more documentation of how unpopular she is
SC has open primaries; so all those Dems who don’t vote in the Dem primary usually vote in the GOP primary in order to influence the result. That’s how the insufferable Lindsay Graham continues to get elected.
Schadenfreude.
I can already hear it...Thank you Nevada, now onto South Carolina!
Reese Bobby: If you ain’t first, you’re last.
It’s the first to get paid...and the first who gets laid!
It is Chris Sununu, New Hampshire governor.
Unattractive rat-faced female. Nimarata “Nikki” Haley.
Did she give a victory speech for reaching 30%?
Snicker
I'd like to see that on EVERY ballot, every election.
He needs to get his charisma level way up and choose a better quality of staff to be viable on a national stage. He doesn’t have that personal warmth or energy that people want in a presidential leader. Maybe his heart wasn’t really in it and others were pushing him to do it? The whole campaign didn’t do him any favors for 2024 though.
Now Nikki may know how Incumbent Republican Senator John Ashcroft felt like in 2000 after he lost his reelection bid to a guy who had died three weeks before election day.
