Nikki Haley placed second in the Nevada Republican primary, with 31% voting for 'none of these candidates' over her.

The Nevada GOP, aligned with Trump, secured the state's 26 delegates for him and encouraged the 'none of these candidates' vote to demonstrate support.

Nevada Republicans opted for party-run caucuses rather than a state-run primary, a move that advantaged Trump.

Haley abstained from campaigning in Nevada, criticizing the process, and instead focused on South Carolina.

State GOP rules prevented candidates from participating in the caucuses if they registered for the primary, leading to voter confusion.

Trump actively campaigned in Nevada and downplayed the primary's importance, urging supporters to attend the caucuses.

Haley's second-place finish behind 'none of these candidates' is seen as an embarrassment and a significant blow to her campaign.

Following the caucuses, Trump's faction is anticipated to claim all 26 delegates, further challenging Haley's candidacy.

Trump publicly ridiculed Haley's performance in the primary, highlighting her difficulties in competing against his influence.
