LAS VEGAS, Nevada — In a decisive victory on Thursday, former President Donald Trump secured the Nevada caucuses, his fourth major win in his efforts towards obtaining the GOP nomination.
In 2021, Nevada switched from caucuses to primaries due to changes in legislation, however, the state’s Republican Party opted for a standalone caucus where candidates could only compete in either the caucus or the primary, with delegates being awarded only in the former.
The Nevada caucus victory saw Trump winning all 26 of Nevada’s GOP delegates. The next stage is the South Carolina primary, where recent polling suggests that Nikki Haley lags considerably behind Trump.

A significant number of senior government officials from Joe Biden’s White House are meeting with Muslim and Arab Americans in Michigan today, after polls revealed Biden’s sinking numbers with the demographic since the October 7th Hamas terror attacks and U.S. response.
The meeting will explicitly address the Israel-Hamas war and the civilian deaths in Gaza. The named officials involved include:
Steve Benjamin, senior adviser to the president;
Tom Perez, senior adviser;
Jon Finer, principal deputy national security adviser;
Samantha Power, USAID administrator,
Jamie Citron, principal deputy director of the Office of Public Engagement;
Dan Kosh, director of the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs;
Mazen Basraw, National Security Council director for partnerships and global engagement.
The utilization of taxpayer-funded resources to help prop up Biden’s election hopes will certainly raise eyebrows.
The same local group canceled on the Biden campaign itself last month, which has led to the White House deploying its resources to prop up the campaign’s failures. Biden has groveled to U.S. Muslims in recent months, even admitting to being “disappointed” in himself over the Israel-Hamas war response. This came after swathes of Muslim Americans said they would withhold their votes in November.
Biden also appointed radical Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud to the State Department’s Assembly of Local Leaders program. Hammoud, known for his staunch anti-Israel positions, excused the Hamas terror attack on the Jewish state as “inevitable.”

Marianne Williamson has ended her 2024 presidential campaign. After her poor showing in the New Hampshire primary, Williamson hinted that her campaign was coming to a close in a call with campaign volunteers. She officially announced her withdrawal on her ActBlue page, a platform used by Democrats for political donations, while also revealing her campaign’s $593,000 debt.
“I hope future candidates will take what works for them, drinking from the well of information we prepared,” Williamson wrote in the announcement ending her campaign. “My team and I brought to the table some great ideas, and I will take pleasure when I see them live on in campaigns and candidates yet to be created.”
Despite securing more votes and polling higher than her 2020 campaign, Williamson failed to mount a serious challenge against Biden for the Democratic nomination. Her campaign encountered numerous setbacks, including multiple staffing changes and a lack of support from the Democratic National Committee (DNC). The DNC refrained from hosting any primary debates and largely dismissed Williamson’s candidacy. Carlos Cardona, a local New Hampshire politician, and Williamson’s longest-serving campaign manager, left the campaign following the New Hampshire primary, where she acquired only 4 percent of the votes.
This marks Williamson’s second unsuccessful attempt to secure the presidency after her first campaign in 2020. Despite her successive failed campaigns, she has made no statements regarding further political ambitions in the future. However, she plans a comeback in the literary field with her impending book release, The Mystic Jesus: The Mind of Love, in May.

Editor’s Notes
Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
American First Legal has filed a lawsuit against Maricopa County, Arizona, for continuing to violate state election law. The conservative legal group — led by Stephen Miller, a long-time adviser to former President Donald Trump — alleges that the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and the County Recorder failed to lawfully administer elections for years. The lawsuit asks the Arizona State Superior Court in Maricopa County to issue several legal orders requiring the county government to comply with election statutes in future elections.
During the 2022 mid-term elections, numerous irregularities with how the administration of the county election were documented. The plaintiffs allege county officials failed to maintain the mandatory chain of custody for ballots. This resulted in a discrepancy of over 25,000 votes. Razor-thin margins decided several 2022 state-wide races. The gubernatorial contest saw just 17,117 votes separate now Governor Kaite Hobbs (D) from Kari Lake (R).
One of the most well-documented allegations the lawsuit levels is that the county recorder ignored state law ballot verification procedures. The statute requires ‘human’ election officials to match signatures on early ballots with the respective voter registration record. An AI program was used to verify ballot signatures during the 2022 election. Officials say they intend to use it again in 2024. County officials also face accusations of ignoring mandatory reconciliation procedures to track each ballot printed or issued to a voter.
“The legitimacy of our government relies on the people’s trust that elections are free and fair. Maricopa County’s errors, lapses, and mistakes in administering elections have seriously eroded that trust,” America First Legal counsel James Rogers said in a statement. He added: “This lawsuit seeks to hold Maricopa County accountable for its failures and to restore Arizonans’ trust in their elections.”

A new poll shows former President Donald Trump continues to hold widespread support in Texas, running 11 points ahead of President Joe Biden. However, if former South Carolina Governor Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley were to overcome nearly insurmountable odds and win the Republican presidential nomination, she’d lose the state to Biden. A Democrat presidential nominee has not won Texas since 1976, when Jimmy Carter carried the state over President Gerald Ford.
Texas voters, by a wide margin, believe former President Donald Trump has the best chance of defeating President Joe Biden in November, according to the Redfield & Wilton Strategies survey — with 47 percent saying Trump to Haley’s 19 percent. Among 2020 Trump voters, 75 percent said he was the stronger candidate, compared to just 11 percent naming Haley.
Nearly 70 percent of Texas voters believe the border state is facing an illegalimmigration crisis. Among former President Donald Trump’s political base in the state, the number rises to nearly 90 percent. Almost 60 percent of respondents said the Biden government does not have control over the U.S. border with Mexico.
The ongoing invasion of illegal immigrants at the southern border has contributed, in large part, to President Biden’s low approval ratings across the country. Biden’s ratings are underwater in Texas, with a -17 percent net approval. Meanwhile, Texas Governor Greg Abbott — who continues efforts to secure the border in defiance of the Biden government and U.S. Supreme Court — has a net 6 percent approval rating.

A new poll by SurveyUSA shows former President Donald Trump leading Joe Biden by 10 points amongst independent voters, 48 percent to 38 percent.
The survey of over 1,000 general election voters also shows Trump with an overall lead of 5 points against Biden, 49 percent to 44 percent. Although both candidates were found to have a net negative favorability rating, Trump remains far more popular than Biden, with a net favorability of -6 percent to Biden’s -16 percent.
The poll suggests that Trump is maintaining his substantial lead over Biden with independents despite the efforts of the regime to portray Trump as a threat to democracy and Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley’s ongoing spoiler campaign.
In addition to his unpopularity with independent voters, Biden also continues to hemorrhage support amongst blacks and Hispanics.
A Gallup poll released Wednesday found that Biden’s lead among black voters is the lowest it has been since 1999, while Hispanic support for the Democrat is the lowest for a Democratic presidential candidate since 2011.

Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley came a distant second to the “none of these candidates” option in the Nevada primary. Over 60 percent of Republicans rejected the entire slate — which did not include Donald Trump — while only 33.2 percent backed Haley.
Trump opted not to participate in the state-run, Democrat-mandated primary, which is not recognized by the Nevada Republican Party and awards no delegates. He is instead focusing on the official party caucus set for Thursday, which does award delegates.
Haley had complained the caucus is “rigged for Trump” — but the fact she lost the unrecognized primary to a “none of the above” option, despite running essentially unopposed, suggests her campaign has had deeper issues connecting with Silver State conservatives.
“A bad night for Nikki Haley,” Trump said of the primary results in a Truth Social post. “Losing by almost 30 points in Nevada to ‘None of These Candidates’. Watch, she’ll soon claim victory!” he added, likely referring to the fact Haley claimed the Republican primary was “a two-person race” after the Iowa caucus, despite coming in third behind Ron DeSantis.

Campaign finance data shows that Make America Great Again Inc. (MAGA Inc.) was far more efficient in its fundraising efforts and deployment of resources than both the pro-DeSantis Never Back Down Super PAC and the pro-Haley SFA Fund in the second half of 2023. The MAGA Inc. Super PAC, which is supporting former President Donald Trump’s bid to retake the White House, spent less than a quarter of what Never Back Down did on fundraising efforts while simultaneously raising over three times more in donations.
Likewise, the pro-Trump Super PAC spent nearly $20 million less on independent expenditures than Haley’s SFA Fund. Despite the SFA Fund’s large pro-Haley ad buys in Iowa and New Hampshire, Trump wonboth Republican primary contests by historic numbers, with Haley finishing in a distant third and second place, respectively.
The data also confirms claims that DeSantis’s Never Back Down operation squandered millions of donor dollars on consultants and operational costs — with only a fraction of its massivebudget spent on actual campaign efforts. Despite boasting a $130 million budget in the spring of 2023, Never Back Down spent $81.1 million on operating expenditures while only raising an additional $14.5 million in the second half of 2023. The Super PAC’s chief strategist, Jeff Roe, and his consulting firm, Axiom Strategies, were amongst the primary beneficiaries of the high operational spending.
While Super PACs are not legally allowed to coordinate with a candidate’s campaign committee, they can fund independent expenditures in support of their preferred candidate. This support has traditionally come in the form of television and radio ads, campaign mailers, and phone banks. Haley’s SFA Fund spent $61 million on independent expenditures in 2023, while MAGA Inc. and Never Back Down spent $43.8 million and $36.8 million, respectively.
MAGA Inc. finished 2023 with $23.2 million in cash on hand — nearly $10 million more than Never Back Down and $20 million more than the pro-Haley SFA Fund.

Former Governor of South Carolina Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley has officially requested that the federal government provide Secret Service protection as she continues her campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. Haley said she made the request after her campaign received an uptick in threats against her.
“We’ve had multiple issues,” Haley toldThe Wall Street Journal on Monday, adding: “It’s not going to stop me from doing what I need to do.” Neither Haley nor her provided any specific details regarding the threats she received.
Secret Service protection is often extended to presidential and vice-presidential candidates when it is determined necessary by the Department of Homeland Security. While protection for candidates is usually granted within 120 days of the presidential election, exceptions are made — usually by order of the President of the United States.
While former President Donald Trump is seen as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee — having won Iowa and New Hampshire in landslides last month — Haley has said she will continue her primary challenge through at least Super Tuesday on March 5th.
At a campaign event last week in South Carolina, Haley’s private security detail tackled a woman who attempted to rush the stage where the candidate was speaking. Haley was also the victim of a swatting incident where local police were falsely called to her home by an unidentified individual. Additionally, her outspoken support for Israel has drawn pro-Hamas protests at campaign events.
“When you do something like this, you get threats,” Haley said at a recent news conference when asked about the threats. “It’s just the reality.”

President Joe Biden “struggled” with the basic task of using a straw to puncture the plastic film lid of a “boba” or bubble tea drink during a campaign stop in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Monday. According to White House pool reporter Nicholas Nehamas of the New York Times, the 81-year-old Biden required assistance from the shop’s cashier after he was unable to push the straw through his cup’s plastic cover.
From the POLITICO newsletter.
The videos posted by the media following Biden all clip from the moment he orders to the moment he walks out with the drink in hand, apparently editing out the “struggle” and ensuring assistance.
The bubble tea incident came just a day after Biden confused current French President Emmanuel Macron with François Mitterrand, who served as president from 1981 to 1995. Speaking to supporters in Las Vegas on Sunday, Biden claimed he had spoken with Mitterrand at the recent G7 summit, stating: “I sat down and I said, ‘America is back,’ and Mitterand from Germany, I mean France, looked at me, and said, said, ‘You know, why, how long you back for?’” Mitterrand, a staunch French socialist, died in 1996.
Concerns about Biden’s age and mental competency likely contributed to his plummeting approval numbers over the last year. While speaking during the annual White House turkey pardoning past November, which coincided with his 81st birthday, Biden confused musical entertainers Taylor Swift and Britney Spears. A month earlier, in a now infamous moment, while returning from a trip to Israel, Biden struggled to form a complete thought while speaking with reporters on Air Force One. At one point, he simply stared at the reporters for an extended period without saying anything.
