2028 Republican primary in Nevada
Nevada is one of the early states on the 2028 Republican calendar, which gives its primary or caucus outsized early influence. Nevada is also one of the seven 2028 battlegrounds - it was decided by Trump +3.1 in 2024 - so the Republican winner here would head into a genuine November tossup. Nevada is number 3 in the RNC's 2028 early-state order; the date has not been announced yet.
