The Dam Breaks: Panic at DNC HQ As Dems
Hit Flashing Red Lights Territory With Black, Hispanic Voters
EXCERPT:
We’ve written before about the slow but steady erosion of support from black and Hispanic voters for the Democratic Party, something that became very pronounced during Donald Trump’s presidency as he and the RNC courted core left-wing voting blocs by explaining they had a lot more in common with the GOP than they did Democrats. Since Trump left office, the decline in alliances among these same voters for Democrats has continued, but the most recent numbers from Gallup on this front suggest that Dems aren’t looking at just a trickling loss of support, but a flood as fed-up black and Hispanic Americans are saying “adios” to Democrats in droves:
It’s gonna be a long evening. I’ll probably cook and eat dinner, and take a nap before the results come in.

What to expect:
Caucuses will be held in-person at more than 1,500 locations across the state, from 8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Eastern time. Only former President Donald J. Trump and Ryan Binkley, a businessman and pastor, will appear on the ballot. In 2016, the first caucus results were reported before midnight Eastern, and all results were in by 6:00 a.m. Eastern.
In addition to Thursday’s Republican caucuses, a state-run presidential primary was held on Tuesday. Voters could participate in both the primary and the caucus; however, candidates had to choose which to compete in, and only the results of the caucus will determine which candidates receive delegates. Voters needed to have registered as Republicans in Nevada by Jan. 9 in order to participate in a caucus.
