People are putting a lot of attention on South Carolina, where the first official Democratic presidential primary will occur on Feb. 3. However, the next Republican primary won’t take place until Feb. 8, in Nevada — and it isn’t getting as much attention as South Carolina is.
The state is being overlooked for a few reasons. The Republican primary is a shoo-in for former President Donald Trump, who is expected to earn all 26 of the delegates up for grabs. Also, the way the primary functions can be considered complicated.
There will be both a Republican primary held and a caucus in Nevada. GOP voters in the state can participate in both, but only results from the caucus will count.
Republican presidential hopefuls had to choose which contest they wanted to participate in — either the primary or the caucus. Nikki Haley chose the primary while Trump will participate in the caucus.
