It's presidential primary day in Nevada, which for a couple of decades has been a key early voting state in the race for the White House.
Three days after a massive victory in South Carolina's Democratic primary, President Biden is expected to score a second straight landslide in Nevada.
But things are far from simple in the Republican primary, where only one of the two major contenders left in the battle for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination will appear on the ballot.
But Trump, who is the commanding front-runner for the GOP nomination as he makes his third straight White House run, isn't on the ballot. Instead, Trump will be listed two days later, in a presidential caucus being run by the Nevada GOP.
The genesis of the competing contests dates back to 2021, when Democrats, who at the time controlled both Nevada's governor's office and the legislature, passed a law changing the presidential nominating contest from long-held caucuses to a state-run primary.
The Nevada GOP objected, but last year their legal bid to stop the primary from going forward was rejected. In a twist, the judge in the case allowed the state Republicans to hold their own caucuses. No delegates will be at stake in the Republican primary, while all 26 will be up for grabs in the GOP caucus.

If she beats out None of the Above, and that guy Not Sure [Idiocracy reference], she can go on CNN and PMSNBC and whine about how not faaaair it is that she ‘won’ the primary, but the caucus picked someone else.
You cannot vote in both! IF you vote in the Primary, you will not be able to vote for Trump in the Caucus.
Actually that isn’t true..... You can vote in both....
Very confusing and a lot of disinformation for sure.
She should be referred henceforth as “Hallery”
