Former President Donald Trump won the Nevada caucuses with 98% of the vote, consolidating his control over the Republican nomination process and adding 26 delegates to his total. His top rival, Nikki Haley, didn't receive any votes as she wasn't on the caucus ballot. Trump's victory gives him momentum heading into the South Carolina primary, where polls show him with a commanding lead over Haley.
The Nevada Republican Party is holding caucuses to allocate the state's 26 delegates, with former President Donald Trump expected to sweep the delegates after former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley suffered an embarrassing defeat in the symbolic primary. Trump, the Republican frontrunner, is the only major candidate on the caucus ballot, with little-known candidate Ryan Binkley also in the running. Before the caucuses, Trump had an estimated 33 delegates compared to Haley's 17, and the results are expected to come in as the precincts report them.
Former President Donald Trump's campaign has committed to participating in Nevada's caucus after the state GOP approved rules that rival campaigns argue are tilted in his favor. The rules would prevent any candidate from participating in the caucus if they take part in the state-run primary two days earlier and restrict the influence of super PACs. Trump's influence on state parties and his frontrunner status are evident in the changes, which are expected to benefit him given his strong support among loyal GOP voters. The decision to hold a caucus has raised concerns about confusion among Republican voters, as the state will have both a primary and a caucus within a span of three days.
