Hundreds showed up to Pinon Hills Elementary school in Douglas County, in order to vote for former President Donald Trump in the Nevada Republican Caucus on Februray 8, 2024.

We knew the results of the primary and caucus last week before they came out. Donald Trump won the Republican caucus. President joe Biden won the Democratic primary.

Both did well with their base voters, getting 90% for Biden and 99% for Trump.

And pundits are still trying to understand what it means—or if it means anything other than: these are the two candidates, despite the continuing attempt by Republican Nikki Haley to do well in the next primary in South Carolina.

She, by the way, lost to “none of the above” in Nevada’s Republican primary.
