RENO, Nev. (AP) — The Nevada Republican Party approved rules Saturday for their presidential caucus that many campaigns suspect are meant to help former President Donald Trump win the state's GOP delegates.
The provisions would bar any candidate from the Feb. 8 caucus if they participate in the state-run primary two days earlier.
The moves reflect Trump's grip on many state parties and his status as the perennial frontrunner, particularly in Nevada, where the state GOP is run by allies of the former president.
But those results will likely be symbolic since the state party refuses to use them to determine delegates.
The national Republican Party generally allows state parties to decide how they will award delegates.
