In the Indiana GOP presidential primary, with 70% of the votes counted, former President Donald Trump secured a significant victory with 78.3% of the vote, translating to 375,000 votes, while Nikki Haley, who had withdrawn from the race over two months prior, unexpectedly received 21.7% or approximately 128,000 votes. Despite her early exit, Haley's substantial share of the vote, amounting to one in five Republican votes, highlights a notable level of dissent within the party. Trump's win also included securing 52 out of 58 available delegates in the state.
