Nikki Haley wins 17% of vote in Pennsylvania GOP primary. Is it warning sign for Trump?
Nikki Haley garnered 17% of the vote in Pennsylvania’s Republican primary despite having dropped out over a month ago. Her double-digit performance in the swing state is seen by some as a potential warning sign for former President Donald Trump — the party’s presumptive nominee — who won 83% of the vote in the April 23 primary. “This is a huge red flag for the Trump campaign in a battleground state,” Republicans Against Trump, an anti-Trump political initiative, wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “Many Republicans will never vote for Donald Trump.”
“She has 155,000 votes with 98% reported — nearly 2X the margin Trump lost the state by in 2020,” Kaivan Shroff, a Democratic commentator, wrote in a post on X. “Good news for Biden.” Haley performed particularly well in some counties surrounding Philadelphia in the closed primary, garnering nearly 25% in Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties. “Trump is hemorrhaging votes in the Philadelphia suburbs,” Matthew McDermott, a Democratic strategist, wrote in a post on X, adding “Major red flags for Republicans.”
