Donald Trump won the Republican presidential primary in Indiana, securing a victory despite significant protest votes within his own party. Nikki Haley, who had withdrawn from the race two months earlier, surprisingly garnered over 20% of the vote, indicating a notable level of dissent against Trump among GOP voters. This phenomenon of protest voting against Trump, who had won Indiana by 17 points in 2020, was observed not only in Indiana but also in other states, reflecting a broader discontent within the party.
