It's presidential primary day in Nevada, which for a couple of decades has been a key early voting state in the race for the White House.
Three days after a massive victory in South Carolina's Democratic primary, President Biden is expected to score a second straight landslide in Nevada.
But things are far from simple in the Republican primary, where only one of the two major contenders left in the battle for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination will appear on the ballot.
Nikki Haley, the former two-term South Carolina governor who later served as U.N. ambassador in former President Donald Trump's administration, is the sole remaining candidate listed in the state-run Republican primary contest.
But Trump, who is the commanding front-runner for the GOP nomination as he makes his third straight White House run, isn't on the ballot. Instead, Trump will be listed two days later, in a presidential caucus being run by the Nevada GOP.
The genesis of the competing contests dates back to 2021, when Democrats, who at the time controlled both Nevada's governor's office and the legislature, passed a law changing the presidential nominating contest from long-held caucuses to a state-run primary.
