Upon learning of his triumph, Biden took the opportunity to attack Trump. his more than likely opponent in the November election, in a statement.

“America was built on an idea: the idea that all women and men are equal (…) But that promise (…) has never been more at risk than now. Donald Trump is trying to divide us, not unite us; and drag us into the past, moving us away from a promising future,” he said.

Biden’s significant advantage over his opponents has led to the fact that the American media, equipped with technology to evaluate the election results, announce your forecasts in just an hour and forty minutes on the closure of polling stations.

But that law didn’t specify how the GOP would allocate Nevada’s 26 delegates to the winner, so by exploiting that loophole, Trump pressured the Nevada GOP to ignore the state law and continue their tradition of “gathering.”

“Bad night for Nikki Haley. Losing by nearly 30 points in Nevada vs. “None of These Candidates.” “Be careful, he will soon claim victory!” Trump said on the Truth Social platform during the audit.

Haley could not participate in either the primaries or caucuses because it was determined that The candidates had to choose between one or the other. while members of her own party days ago urged voters to check the “no candidate” box to all but halt her fight against Trump.
