The Associated Press declared Trump the winner at 11:06 p.m. ET based on an analysis of initial vote results showing him with an overwhelming lead in six locations throughout the state. At the time the race was called, nearly all of the ballots cast in the caucuses were for Trump, roughly 98% of the total vote. The scale of the win was overwhelming, with Trump above 90% in every county with votes counted. At the time of the AP’s call, he had won all the votes counted in two of those counties — and there wasn’t a single county in...

If you are a registered Republican voter in Nevada wanting to participate in today’s caucuses, the state party says the process is simple: Either stop by a caucus site starting at 5 p.m. and stay for the whole meeting until 7:30 p.m., or “cast your secret paper ballot and go.” One of the reasons the party says it opted to run caucuses, which are operated independently from the oversight of the Nevada Secretary of State and county election officials, instead of participate in Tuesday’s Republican presidential preference primary is for election security. You must bring a valid government-issued identification to...

Following a bruising defeat in the Nevada's Republican primary on Tuesday, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley sought to brush off the fact that she came in second to "none of these candidates" -- her third straight loss in the presidential race so far -- and said her campaign focus is on other, bigger states.She also reiterated that she never saw much point in seriously competing against former President Donald Trump in Nevada, which is holding two different nominating contests: the primary she ran in, which didn't award delegates to earn the GOP nomination, and the party-run caucuses on Thursday,...

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Changing signs at Harry Reid International Airport is proving more expensive than planned, and the total price tag is now up to $7.68 million, documents show. On Tuesday, Clark County commissioners approved $4.77 million to fund the most expensive part of the project. “Marquee – Landmark Signs” on Tropicana Avenue had an original budget of $1.95 million and now are estimated to cost an estimated $2.82 million more than planned.

Is it time for Nikki Haley to pack up her campaign baggage and get the heck home? Sure looks like it. Because out in Nevada, the primary results came out like this:Nikki Haley suffered an embarrassing loss in the Republican presidential primary in Nevada on Tuesday, receiving far fewer votes than the "none of these candidates" option, according to the Associated Press.With 86% of the votes counted, Haley received less than half (20,799, or 30.8%) of the 42,534 garnered by "none of these candidates."It was a contest that former President Donald Trump did not compete in and which the state...

LAS VEGAS - Former President Donald Trump wasn't on the ballot in Tuesday's Republican presidential primary in the early voting state of Nevada. But his absence wasn't enough to help secure a victory for his last remaining major rival for the 2024 GOP nomination – Nikki Haley. Voters casting ballots in the state-run Republican nominating contest couldn't write in Trump's name, but they could vote for a "none of these candidates" option. And the Associated Press projected that the "none of these candidates" option would defeat Haley in a primary where no delegates to this summer's Republican convention were at...

Nikki Haley faced no major challenger Tuesday in Nevada’s presidential primary. She still lost, according to NBC News projections. Nevada voters in the state-run primary had a choice to reject all the candidates on the ballot, and they did just that — with more people choosing to vote for “none of these candidates” than for Haley. It was a stinging rebuke of the former ambassador to the United Nations and South Carolina governor — and one that some party leaders had encouraged. The outcome in Nevada was Haley's third consecutive loss in an early state primary contest.

53% / 40% with 16% in

Too damaging to release?? "None of these candidates" chosen on both sides in high percentages maybe? Very strange!

Nevada’s first presidential primary in decades was drawing light voter interest Tuesday, with Democrats having banked ballots through early and mail-in voting while Republicans looked ahead to competing caucuses on Thursday. The Nevada secretary of state reported that just 3,800 Nevadans showed up at the polls in the first three hours of voting Tuesday, as President Joe Biden faces only nominal opposition in the Democratic race and Republican front-runner Donald Trump isn’t even on his party’s ballot. “Oh, this is a disappointing voter turnout,” a voter said as he arrived at an empty polling site at the Silver Springs Recreation...

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley could lose the Nevada primary to the "none of these candidates" option, according to a new survey, an outcome that would threaten her hopes of defeating former President Donald Trump. New polling released by Providence, a collaborative effort between Revere Solutions and DecipherAi, showed 59.2% of Nevada Republican primary voters saying they would select "none of these candidates" during the Feb. 6 GOP primary election, compared to 40.8% who would choose Haley.

Republicans in Nevada, unlike in most other states, get to vote twice in the presidential nominating process — in a primary and in caucuses. Here’s an explanation of this confusing scenario, how it came to be, and what it means for the larger 2024 GOP contest. The dueling contests Nevada will hold its Republican presidential primary on Tuesday. Two days later, the state GOP will hold caucuses. The Silver State has historically held caucuses, but after the 2020 Iowa debacle, its Legislature voted to hold a presidential primary in 2024. The state’s Republican Party sued in an attempt to overturn...

The White House has declined CBS News‘ request for a sit down interview with President Joe Biden tied to the Super Bowl, the network confirmed. This will mark the second year in a row that the White House has bypassed an interview with the Super Bowl host network, which had become annual tradition for administrations given that the event reaches such a huge audience. CBS has the rights to the Feb. 11 event between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. Last year, the White House declined a Fox News request for an interview when Fox had the...

The Washoe County Republican Party kicked out County Commissioner Clara Andriola on Monday night. “Andriola has intentionally and willfully failed to uphold the Republicans and the Republican brand in her official capacity by predominantly voting with the Democrats on the Commission,” said a resolution voted on by the county Republican party’s central committee during a meeting at Boomtown casino. Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo appointed Andriola to the commission in April, replacing Vaughn Hartung after he was appointed to lead the Nevada Transportation Authority. Andriola told the RGJ on Tuesday that she’s baffled by the resolution. “I don't understand why they're...

Former President Donald Trump, speaking in a Commit to Caucus rally in Las Vegas on Saturday, promised that he will support Texas in its battle to secure the border, not push back against the state like the Biden administration is doing. "When I'm president, instead of trying to send Texas a restraining order, I will send them reinforcements," Trump told the large crowd gathered at Big League Dreams sports park in Las Vegas. "Instead of fighting border states, I will use every resource tool and authority of the U.S. president to defend the United States of America from this horrible...

Charles Fruit thinks Nikki Haley would make a good president. He thinks she did a good job as governor in South Carolina, and he was impressed with her work as United Nations ambassador during the Trump administration. “She was just tough, and I like that,” the Mesquite, Nev., resident said. “She was common sense. She was well-spoken. She was respectable.” That’s why Fruit was upset to learn that he couldn’t really help her become the Republican nominee. Haley — the second most popular Republican candidate next to former President Donald Trump — is not participating in the Feb. 8 Nevada...

The first contest is a state-run primary on Feb. 6. Haley is on that ballot. The second vote is a caucus on Feb. 8, organized by the Trump-friendly Nevada Republican Party, with just Trump on that ballot. Even if Haley wins the primary on Feb. 6, it will be an empty victory, as only candidates competing in the party-run caucus on Feb. 8 can compete for the state's 26 delegates. That means Trump is almost certainly assured to win all of Nevada's 26 delegates on Feb. 8. There is a backstory as to why many of the Western state's voters...
