Former President Trump is projected to win the Nebraska GOP presidential primary, according to Decision Desk HQ.

Trump was not expected to face any stiff competition as the only last remaining major Republican candidate in the race.

However, the former president could face a protest vote as Republicans in other state GOP primaries have cast ballots for rival Nikki Haley in an apparent snub to the former president.

Trump beat President Biden in Nebraska by 19 points in 2020, though the state’s 2nd Congressional District awarded Biden one electoral vote. Nebraska has 36 delegates up for grabs on the GOP side.
