Trump wins Nevada Republican caucuses, Nikki Haley skips

Trump's win in Nevada on Thursday gives him all 26 of the state's delegates. He needs to accrue 1,215 delegates to formally clinch the party's nomination


Former President Donald Trump has won Nevada's Republican presidential caucuses after he was the only major candidate to take part.

Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley skipped the caucuses, which are the only contest in Nevada that counts toward the GOP nomination.

26 delegates

Haley cited what she considered an unfair process favouring Trump and instead ran in Nevada's symbolic state-run presidential primary on Tuesday when she finished behind the “none of these candidates” option.

Trump's win in Nevada on Thursday gives him all 26 of the state's delegates. He needs to accrue 1,215 delegates to formally clinch the party's nomination and could reach that number in March.
