LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – Polls in Nevada are closing as the state holds its primaries for the Democratic and Republican parties. President Joe Biden, along with several other candidates, including Marianne Williamson, are on the ballot for the Democratic side. The state will allocate 36 delegates based on the results of the primary. On the Republican side, a state-run presidential primary is being held, while delegates for the Republican National Convention will be awarded based on party-run caucuses. 26 delegates are at stake in the caucuses.
Nevada GOP rules prevented candidates from participating in both contests, but eligible voters can vote in both. Donald Trump is the only major GOP candidate on the caucus ballot and faces no serious opposition to win the state’s 26 delegates. Nikki Haley is the only major candidate on the primary ballot, and voters will also have the option for “none of these candidates.”
The primary and caucuses in Nevada will play a crucial role in allocating delegates for the national conventions of both parties. It’s an important step in the presidential nomination process and will give insight into the potential nominees for the 2024 election.
As the results come in, political analysts will be closely watching to see how the candidates perform in Nevada, as it could set the stage for the rest of the primary season. With both parties having significant delegates at stake, the outcome of Nevada’s primaries can impact the overall trajectory of the presidential race. Voters will be keeping a close eye on the results as well, as they assess the potential nominees and their policies for the upcoming election.
