Trump Achieves 3 Consecutive Wins at US Republican Party Conventions "Victory in Nevada Caucus Too"

Trump, who effectively registered as the sole candidate for the Republican caucus held that day, achieved his third consecutive victory following the primaries in Iowa and New Hampshire last month. All 26 delegates allocated to Nevada were won by Trump.
The Republican Nevada primary was held twice: a primary election organized by the Nevada state government on the 6th, and the Republican caucus held that day. Trump did not participate in the primary, while former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley was the only participant.
Previously, Trump registered only for the caucus, while his competitor Haley registered only for the primary, claiming the caucus was unfairly organized by the party to secure a victory for Trump. In 2021, the Democratic-controlled Nevada state legislature passed a law to hold the primary election in a way that allows all registered voters to participate, but in response, the Republicans decided to maintain the caucus system, which only allows party members to participate.
