Trump's appearance on the ballot in the last presidential primaries post guilty verdict draws protest votes

Haley got about 8% of the vote in New Mexico's GOP primary. Another 3% voted uncommitted. This shows that Trump's 2024 campaign still has some weaknesses. Trump won almost 89% of the vote in the Montana GOP primary. However, "no preference" got over 10.3% of the vote, which is concerning for Trump in Montana. Last week, a New York jury found Trump guilty of 34 criminal counts. This was for falsifying business records to cover up an affair with Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election. The sentencing is set for July 11, just before the Republican National Committee convention on July 15. Haley has not commented on Trump's conviction yet. Some of her supporters hope she will reconsider joining the 2024 race. Even though Haley dropped out after Super Tuesday, she has been getting double-digit percentages in state primaries. She has gathered 97 delegates in the presidential race. Last month, Haley got nearly 23% of the vote in the Maryland GOP primary, while Trump got 77.3%. In Nebraska, Haley got a little over 18% of the vote, and Trump got almost 80%. Haley's popularity in key states could be worrying for Trump. In Wisconsin, another battleground state, Haley got nearly 13% of the vote last month. In Arizona, she got almost 18% of the GOP primary vote. When she was still a candidate, she got almost 27% of the vote in Michigan. After challenging Trump to win over her supporters during her concession speech, Haley later said she would vote for Trump in the November election. Early polls show that voters who could sway the election seem to be moving away from Trump. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump won Democratic and Republican primaries in a few states on Tuesday. These were some of the last contests on the 2024 primary calendar. Trump won in New Mexico, Montana, and New Jersey. Biden won in New Mexico, South Dakota, New Jersey, Montana, and Washington, D.C. Both were expected to win easily. Trump's strong performance in the GOP primary has been challenged by some GOP voters supporting Nikki Haley, who dropped out in March. In New Mexico, where Haley was still on the ballot, she got some votes but was below 10% late Tuesday. There were campaigns in some states to vote for "uncommitted" in the Democratic contests.
