Republicans in Nevada will get not one, but two chances this week to register support for a candidate in their party's presidential nominating contest when the western US state hosts both a primary vote and a caucus.

Voters see an uncompetitive primary. Team Biden sees an opportunity.

New Hampshire's ballot didn't include President Biden. South Carolina has two primaries. Nevada has a primary and a caucus. A morass of dates and formats could keep some voters away. Democracy is messy, but usually not this messy.

Former President Donald Trump took to social media last week minutes after being declared the winner of the Republican presidential primary in New Hampshire.

One might expect that a candidate nominating process designed by Republican leadership, filled with fake electors from 2020, would be unusual. But the Nevada GOP’s precedent-breaking caucus for determining the 2024 presidential nomination has proven to be perhaps the most confounding process in the nation.

Nevada, one of the four traditional early nominating states, has been unusually quiet and devoid of campaigning during the lead-up to the Republican presidential caucuses next month, considered a near-certain win for former President Donald Trump.

In a swingy state, Senate candidates must be strategic about how closely they associate with the unpopular people at the top of the ticket.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended his 2024 presidential bid and endorsed Donald Trump, all but guaranteeing the former president’s win of the upcoming Nevada caucuses.
