All the major candidates for president will be out speaking to voters this weekend out West. Former President Trump will hold a rally in Las Vegas, which marks his first campaign event since the recent verdict. Meanwhile, his former primary competitor, Nikki Haley, has already commented on the verdict to bolster her own campaign, expressing that the case is distracting from tackling border issues and inflation. Haley will be in South Carolina, along with President Biden and Representative Dean Phillips, who will be in Columbia. Additionally, independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. will be in West Virginia.
Former President Trump's rally in Las Vegas comes ahead of Nevada's Republican caucuses, which are scheduled to award delegates on February 8th. The event holds significance for Trump as he seeks to rally support from his Republican base in the state. With the recent verdict potentially impacting his campaign, this rally serves as an opportunity to reignite his supporters and make his case to voters.
