Nikki Haley
  • Nikki Haley was the only major presidential candidate to appear on the state's GOP primary ballot.
  • Nevertheless, she still lost.
  • Instead, the "None of These Candidates" option finished ahead of her.

Despite being the only currently running major candidate on the official state-run Republican presidential primary in Nevada, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley lost to the option "None of These Candidates."

While Nevada law now requires the state to host a primary, it notably doesn't force the political party to use the state-run primary's results to apportion delegates.

Because of this, Nevada's Republican Party is hosting a caucus to determine how it will divvy up its 26 delegates. Importantly, if a candidate chooses to be apart of the state-run primary, the Nevada GOP said they will not be permitted to also caucus on February 8.
