President Donald Trump will host a “Commit to Caucus Rally” at Big League Dreams near the Las Vegas Strip on Sunday before Nevada’s presidential caucuses. According to his campaign website, Trump plans to make remarks during this event.
The rally will start promptly at 1 pm and is free and open to the public.
Donald Trump is set to secure an impressive victory in Nevada’s Republican caucuses on Thursday night, providing him with a significant edge in this key battleground state. Trump will secure all 26 delegates available despite former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley opting not to participate due to what she considered unfair processes favoring Trump; she ran instead in Nevada’s symbolic primary on Tuesday instead – giving Trump an early and decisive edge in their race for nomination while increasing delegate counts while narrowing their field further.
At South Reno caucus site in Reno, thousands of people were lined up outside to await the start of caucuses on Tuesday. Trump supporters lined up inside, cheering their candidate while casting votes – yet one small-time candidate (Ryan Brinkley) could steal away one delegate for every 3.85% vote cast against Trump in South Reno caucus site.
Trump thanked Nevadans during his victory speech for their enthusiasm, noting the record turnout: “I want to thank all of you for standing with me, fighting for our nation, and being willing to go into caucuses and stand up and fight. Thank you so much.
After his win in Nevada, Trump will travel to the U.S. Virgin Islands for another show of support. There, he plans to meet with Governor Ralph Northam and members of their congressional delegation – something considered one of his top priorities.
Ashley Lopez from NPR has been following the race in Nevada closely and is curious as to why that state uses caucuses – in-person elections of party members – as its method for selecting its delegates for the Republican National Convention.
NPR’s Ashley Lopez will be reporting live from Nevada during Thursday evening’s caucuses and reporting live to NPR from there.
