In the monthslong slog leading up to Iowa and New Hampshire, Nikki Haley’s campaign advisers urged reporters to keep in mind the former U.N. ambassador’s so-called secret weapon in the GOP primary: upward momentum.
Two presidential nominating losses later, that theory of the case is on shaky ground. Haley endured another public-relations nightmare Tuesday evening when Nevada Republicans chose the “none of these candidates” option over Haley in the state’s GOP primary, where Trump did not appear on the ballot and no delegates were awarded. (The former president is expected to sail to victory in Thursday’s state-GOP-run caucus, where delegates are up for grabs.)
