Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:58:44 GMT

Associated PressRENO, Nev. — Nevada’s dueling contests of presidential nominees have split the field of Republican contenders, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis opting to compete against former President Donald Trump in the caucus run by the state GOP while three major rivals face off instead in the early state-run primary.Though DeSantis’ supporters were among those warning that the Nevada Republican Party had created rules that tilted the process in favor of Trump, the Floridian announced Sunday he would run in the Feb. 8 caucus and try to win delegates that help a candidate become a nominee.Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley on Monday filed as a candidate for the Feb. 6 primary, run by the state.

Few Republicans have confidence in elections any more

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:58:44 GMT

By Christine Fernando | Associated PressSUAMICO, Wis. — Kim Pytleski could barely sleep the night before. She replayed the PowerPoint slides in her head, packed her notebook and took a deep breath.The clerk from a rural Wisconsin county north of Green Bay was preparing for a public meeting to explain the election process to residents. She didn’t know who she would encounter. Would some deny the results of the last presidential election? Would the conversation get combative? Most importantly, would she get through to anyone?They were questions Pytleski never expected to ask herself when she started the job in Oconto County more than 14 years ago. But since then, election conspiracy theories have taken root in the rural, heavily Republican county in northeastern Wisconsin. It’s among large swaths of the country where distrust of voting and ballot-counting, fanned by former President Donald Trump’s false claims of a stolen election, maintains a stubborn grasp.Pytleski...

A major pressure campaign from Trump allies including Steve Bannon and Fox News’ Sean Hannity has helped quickly build support. Tuesday’s scheduled floor vote could turn into a showdown.“I feel real good about the momentum we have,” Jordan said outside his office in Washington.Ahead of a private GOP meeting Monday evening, Jordan took a cooperative tone vowing to “bring all Republicans together” if he becomes House speaker after the ouster of McCarthy.“The country and our conference cannot afford us ...
