Trump wins Nebraska primary election, Nikki Haley exceeds expectations
Former President Donald Trump cruised to victory in Nebraska's Republican presidential primary Tuesday night, as projected by the Associated Press, winning 80.2% of votes in the state.
Despite Trump's dominance in the 2024 primary cycle, a number of "Never Trumper" Republicans have stayed loyal to the more moderate former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. She won 17.9% of the vote in Tuesday's primary, with an estimated 97% reporting.
Trump has already surpassed the threshold of delegates required to secure the Republican nomination and is slated to speak at the Republican National Convention in July.
