May 9, 2024, 09:19 AM

In the recent Indiana Republican primary, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, despite having withdrawn from the presidential race, captured a significant portion of the vote, indicating potential challenges for former President Donald Trump's campaign. Haley secured nearly 22% of the vote, her best performance since Super Tuesday, performing strongly in key suburban areas such as Marion County (35%), Hamilton County (34%), Boone County (32%), and Tippecanoe County (31%). This result, where Haley was aided by being the only other option, has raised concerns among Republicans about Trump's appeal in the upcoming general election, especially given Haley's continued influence and lack of endorsement for Trump. Despite winning all 58 delegates, Trump faces growing discontent within his party.
