Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley garnered more than 128,000 votes in Indiana’s GOP presidential primary Tuesday, according to election results from Decision Desk HQ, despite suspending her White House bid in early March.
While the Hoosier State race was called for former President Trump — with 78.3 percent of the vote — Haley pulled a notable share, bringing in 21.7 percent of the vote.
Her sizable showing Tuesday follows other primaries in which she has notched significant shares of the vote despite leaving the campaign trail more than two months ago. Late last month, Haley also nabbed more than 150,000 votes in the Pennsylvania GOP primary.
In her speech announcing the suspension of her campaign, the former South Carolina governor refused to endorse Trump, as other previous candidates had. Instead, she said it would be up to the former president to “earn the votes” of her supporters.

Nikki Haley did not campaign in Indiana. She did not spend any money on TV, radio or digital advertising. And, yet, she’s won more than 120,000 votes — for almost 22% of the total in Tuesday’s GOP primary. In some key counties, she has won a third of the vote.
