Nevada Primary Elections Tomorrow
Posted: Tue Feb 06, 2024 12:22 am
Both the Democrats and Republicans are holding primary elections tomorrow (Tuesday), but the ground rules are different, which is sure to lead to a lot of confusion and multiple claims of victory.
For the Democrats, tomorrow's primary will be the official method of selecting delegates to the convention. President Biden, Marianne Williamson, and several people you've never heard of are on the ballot. Expect similar results to South Carolina.
For the Republicans, tomorrow's primary is just a popularity contest. The delegates will be chosen in a caucus to be held Thursday. Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, Tim Scott, and several people you've never heard of are on the primary ballot. One person not on the primary ballot is Donald Trump. That's because under Nevada caucus rules, anyone appearing on the primary ballot cannot participate in the caucus. Trump is listed on the caucus ballot with one other person, Ryan Binkley. This means that Nikki Haley will likely rack up a substantial and meaningless win in the primary, while Trump will rack up a substantial and meaningful (in terms of delegates) win in the caucuses.
