On the 6th (local time), President Joe Biden achieved a landslide victory in the Democratic presidential primary held in Nevada, USA. Meanwhile, in the Republican presidential primary held simultaneously in Nevada, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley suffered the humiliation of trailing behind 'No Preference'.


According to major foreign media including the Associated Press, in the primary election held in a primary format, with 75% of the votes counted, President Biden recorded an overwhelming 89.6% of the vote. Following him, 'No Preference' received 5.7%, and other candidate author Marianne Williamson received 2.7%. Nevada is considered one of the six battleground states that decided the 2020 presidential election, along with Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. President Biden secured a consecutive win following his landslide victory with 96.2% of the vote (99% counted) in the first official Democratic primary in South Carolina on the 3rd.


Meanwhile, the Nevada Republican presidential primary, held without former President Donald Trump, had former Ambassador Haley as the only major candidate, but voters cast more votes for 'No Preference'. With 71% of the votes counted, 'No Preference' led with 61.8%, followed by former Ambassador Haley with 31.7%, a significant gap.


The Nevada Republican primary is held in two parts, with former President Trump only registered as a candidate in the Republican-run caucus. Former Ambassador Haley only ran in the primary held that day. The Republican Party decided to recognize only the caucus results on the 8th, so the primary results from that day will not actually be reflected in the nomination process, but this result leaves room for former Ambassador Haley’s position within the party to become narrower.



Former Ambassador Haley lost in the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries and is trailing former President Trump in polls in her political hometown of South Carolina, where the primary will be held on the 24th.
