LAS VEGAS — As the calendar gets ready to flip to February and the remaining Republican presidential candidates move on from the early nominating states of Iowa and New Hampshire, it’s Nevada — not South Carolina — that’s next on the schedule. Former President Donald Trump will campaign in Las Vegas on Saturday, while Nikki Haley, a former governor of South Carolina, has so far ignored the state. In a confusing and complicated process, the two candidates will not appear on the same ballot in Nev
A thinned-out primary field and a group of Nevada Republicans loyal to Donald Trump have put the former president on an easy path to sweep the state's Republican delegates and made the third state in the GOP primary calendar a national non-factor. Nevada will have two contests in February. Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley will run in the Feb. 6 primary that the Nevada secretary of state is required to operate.
Two candidates have dropped out following the Iowa caucus and the urgency is picking up for others to make a move as Nevada's decisions near on presidential candidates.
