With 86% of the votes counted, Nikki Haley wins the primaries in Nevada with 30.8% but her success is equivalent to an embarrassing defeat because she was doubled by the "none of the candidates" option (62.9%) in the absence of Donald Trump, who runs alone in the caucuses on Thursday, winning all the delegates up for grabs.
The US media reported this, underlining how the Republican presidential candidate was unable to break through to the party base, like she did in New Hampshire, where she had been dragged by the independents.
US President Joe Biden is preparing to triumph in the Democratic primaries in the state of Nevada, where he has so far obtained 90% of the preferences with 64% of the votes counted.
Writer Marianne Williamson is at 2.5%.
The international media reported it.
Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel plans to resign shortly after the South Carolina primary on Feb. 24.
The New York Times reports it, citing some sources, according to which McDaniel communicated her intention to former president Donald Trump.
Trump could promote Michael Whatley in his place, the president of the North Carolina Republican Party who is a firm supporter of the 2020 "stolen election" thesis. In any case, Trump's decision to nominate Whatley will be subject, according to current rules, to a internal vote and it is not excluded that Whatley could encounter opposition from the party.
