The way the Nevada GOP awards delegates to the convention this year will be somewhat confusing. The state has opted to hold a primary which the Democratic Party of Nevada will participate in. However, the Nevada GOP has decided that it will instead keep with tradition, by pressure of Trump allies, and instead award delegates with a caucus system.
The result means Trump’s name won’t be on the primary ballot and Nikki Haley won’t be participating in the caucus, as reported by the Reno Gazette-Journal:
Although Republicans can vote in the primary for Nikki Haley or other minor candidates who filed to participate, they will not be able to vote for Trump.
The Nevada Republican Party preferred to stick with its caucus system. The two candidates remaining in that contest are Trump and Texas businessman Ryan Binkley.
The caucus, will be from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Feb. 8. It will determine who Nevada’s delegates to the Republican National Convention will put forward to be on November’s ballot.
The Republican and Democratic parties are allowed to use whatever method they want to inform their delegates for their national conventions. The Nevada Republican Party decided that only candidates who participated in its caucus would be eligible for delegates.
The takeaway is that Trump is expected to dominate the Nevada caucus as Nikki Haley is essentially refusing to actively participate. Her name will be on the caucus ballot but since she’s ignoring the state, and Trump is extremely popular, the result will likely be very lopsided in favor of the former president.
However, delegates are delegates and Trump is spending today in Las Vegas to gin up caucus support and give Nevada voters some attention.
