LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley lost the Republican first-in-the-West Nevada primary to the “none of these candidates” option, an embarrassing display as she seeks to win the GOP presidential over former President Donald Trump.

The Associated Press called the race shortly after midnight EST, two hours after the polls closed.
