Donald Trump took away more than 99% of the votes in the Nevada Republican caucus held Thursday, while his lone credible opponent Nikki Haley fared poorly in the primary elections held in the state on Tuesday. Despite her weak standing against Trump, Haley has the best chance of beating President Joe Biden in the 2024 general election, a new poll has found.
