Donald Trump’s Republican nomination may be secure, but GOP voters continue to express their disapproval by casting protest votes. In the Pennsylvania primary, Nikki Haley, who ended her campaign over a month ago, garnered a significant 16.5% of the vote. This suggests that over 155,000 Republican voters chose to support a defunct campaign rather than Trump, signaling potential problems for his general election chances.
Former President Trump has emerged victorious in the Pennsylvania Republican primary, solidifying his path towards securing the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential race. Meanwhile, President Biden is projected to claim Pennsylvania’s Democratic primary. Despite facing no significant challengers, both presidential candidates may encounter some protest votes. Trump could face opposition from his former rival, Nikki Haley, while Biden may experience discontent from Democrats dissatisfied with his handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
