The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports:
As Mr. Trump sat in a courtroom in Manhattan on Tuesday during the first criminal trial of a former president in U.S. history, some staunchly Republican voters told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that they could not vote for their party’s standard-bearer. “I’m a pretty strong Republican, but it’s hard to support Mr. Trump,” said Terry Bimle, 68, of Bethel Park. Mr. Bimle instead cast his vote for Nikki Haley.
In Georgia and Wisconsin, she won the support of about 13% of Republican primary voters despite no longer being in the race. In Arizona, another key swing state, she won nearly 18% — more than 110,000 votes. None of those states has as much sway in presidential elections as Pennsylvania. With 82% of the expected vote in, more than 16% of Republican votes had gone to Ms. Haley, according to the Associated Press.
