Nikki Haley writes off Nevada as 'penny slots' after loss: 'We didn't bother to play'

Former Amb. Nikki Haley's campaign called Nevada 'penny slots' that are 'rigged for Trump' after suffering a major defeat despite no opponent on the ballot.

Former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley wrote off the Nevada primary as "penny slots," calling the state's vote "rigged for Trump" following a heavy defeat.

Haley failed to win the Nevada primary despite former President Donald Trump not appearing on the ballot.

"Even Donald Trump knows that when you play penny slots the house wins. We didn’t bother to play a game rigged for Trump," said Haley campaign spokesperson Olivia Perez-Cubas.

She added, "We’re full steam ahead in South Carolina and beyond."

With a majority of the votes counted, the results show Haley with around 30% of the vote despite being the only candidate left in the race that appeared on the primary ballot as Trump chose to participate in the state's caucus, which will be held Thursday. 

The winner of the primary: "None of these candidates" with around 63% of the vote.
