CNN —President Joe Biden is poised to win delegates in the Nevada presidential primary Tuesday as he marches toward the Democratic nomination.
But former President Donald Trump will have to wait until Thursday, when the state Republican Party holds its caucuses.
What’s clear, though, is that Biden and Trump face only nominal opposition, and both are expected to end the week winners of Nevada delegates to their parties’ nominating conventions.
On the Democratic primary ballot, Biden faces nominal opposition from a dozen candidates, including author Marianne Williamson.
The fractured process is the result of a 2021 state law that scrapped Nevada’s presidential caucuses in favor of government-run primaries.
