Nikki Haley dismissed an embarrassing loss in Nevada’s Republican presidential primary, saying the state’s nominating process had been “rigged” in favor of rival Donald Trump and criticizing his hold on the party.

Haley finished second to a ballot option for “none of these candidates,” a result she played down on Wednesday by reiterating that her focus remains on the upcoming contest in her home state of South Carolina.
