Democrats say the state’s economy is getting better, while Republicans argue it’s getting worse. Which message resonates more could decide the pivotal battleground state this fall.

Nevada's Republican voters have overwhelmingly chosen "none of these candidates" as their choice in the state's GOP primary, an embarrassing blow for former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who was essentially running unopposed.

State will have a GOP primary and a caucus this week, but only the latter counts

Trump is on one ticket. Haley’s on the other. (So is “none of these candidates.”)

Donald Trump's name is not on the ballot in the Republican presidential primary on Tuesday in the US state of Nevada - the ex-president is still expected to win the desert state's delegate votes: The Republicans have another opportunity to support their favorite this week. In the Democratic presidential primary in Nevada, Trump's successor, incumbent Joe Biden, will be the favorite in the race on Tuesday.

The bifurcated Republican presidential nomination contest that is unfolding this week in Nevada — a nonbinding primary Tuesday and a caucus Thursday — was orchestrated by Republican leaders to assure another delegate victory for former President Donald Trump in his march to the nomination.

More than 93,000 Nevada Democrats and nearly 58,000 Republicans participated in early voting for the presidential preference primary — numbers that are close to past caucus participation but are lower than previous primaries.

Former President Donald Trump and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley are each participating in Nevada’s two different Republican nominating contests. However, they will not be competing against one another.

Nevada Republicans will caucus to decide how to apportion their delegates for president. But their caucus comes two days after a primary. And that’s only the start of the confusion.

President Joe Biden pitched for votes Sunday in Nevada, where the first-in-the-West primaries are underway with early and absentee voting. But the Democrat and his team are also using the visit to shore up support for the general election in November.

Nikki Haley is competing in just the primary, but only the caucuses award delegates for the Republican presidential nomination

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