Duelling primary vote and caucuses meant Nikki Haley and Trump did not go head-to-head in the southwestern state.
Former United States President Donald Trump has taken an easy victory in the Nevada caucuses, moving a step closer to claiming the Republican nomination for the 2024 general election.
The results were far from a surprise, with Trump only facing longshot candidate Ryan Binkley in the caucuses. His top challenger Nikki Haley skipped the event, saying its organisers had heavily skewed the vote in Trump’s favour.
As of Friday, he had claimed more than 99 percent of the about 60,000 votes cast in the caucuses.
“We’re leading everybody,” Trump said in a victory speech from Las Vegas.
“Is there any way we can call the election for next Tuesday?” he added. “That’s all I want.”
