REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES

Nevada Republicans will see a few big names on the primary ballot, including Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina and former Vice President Mike Pence, who have suspended their presidential campaigns. The biggest-name candidate who is still running and will appear on the primary is former South Carolina Gov. and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.

Because the Nevada Republican Party is responsible for choosing which election nomination process holds the most weight, and it is all-in on its caucuses, the primary results will be considered symbolic.

Haley’s campaign could use the primary as a public opinion strategy to build momentum for her campaign. While she won’t be awarded delegates from the election, she could still receive an amount of votes that is comparable to the amount received by candidates participating in the caucuses.

Nikki Haley has focused her campaign on immigration and economic and foreign policy issues. She has positioned herself as an opposite to Trump and has closed the distance between herself and Desantis in the polls.

Haley’s campaign is viewed by many as more moderate and common sense than other candidates.’ While she has gone a long time avoiding controversy in her campaign, Haley received criticism recently after she failed to say slavery was a cause of the Civil War.

For both Democrats and Republicans, voters will have the option of selecting “none of these candidates” on their primary ballot.
