Donald Trump Projected to Win GOP Nevada Caucuses
Donald Trump has won the Republican presidential caucuses in Nevada, the Associated Press reports. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are still vying for second.
Trump was favored to win the state, which marks his third consecutive victory after handily winning independents in New Hampshire and evangelicals in South Carolina. Turnout in Nevada, where Mormons and rural activists are influential, the New York Times reports, was very high.
