Supporters of former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley continue to snub former President Donald Trump‘s 2024 run for president more than two months after she ended her campaign.
The latest insult came Tuesday during Indiana’s GOP primary, in which more than 128,000 people voted for Haley, amounting to nearly 22% of the vote share. Trump easily won the primary with 78.3% of the votes cast.
In several Hoosier State counties, including Marion, Hamilton, and Boone, Haley nabbed higher than 30% of the vote share.
Although Indiana is a reliably red state, the primary represented the latest warning sign that despite locking down the GOP nomination in March, Trump still has a ways to go in unifying the GOP behind his third presidential campaign.
As the election comes down to just a handful of swing states that will decide who wins, Trump could be harmed by even a small percentage of GOP defectors.
