Nikki Haley Secures 21% in Indiana GOP Primary; Trump Wins Despite 128,000 Votes for Haley

May 8, 2024, 11:35 AM

In the Indiana Republican primary, despite having suspended her campaign two months prior, Nikki Haley achieved notable voter support, capturing over 21% of the vote and garnering 128,000 votes. Former President Donald Trump won the primary with 76% of the statewide vote and secured all 58 state delegates, although he received only 66% in Bartholomew County, the home of Mike Pence. Haley's performance was particularly strong in suburban areas, with over 30% of the vote in counties like Marion and Hamilton. This result suggests a potential challenge for Trump, as Haley's continued appeal could influence future Republican dynamics.
