Overview

• Former President Trump is rallying in Las Vegas, Nevada, ahead of the state's Republican presidential caucuses on February 8, where he is expected to sweep the state's delegates.
• Trump's only major rival, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, has opted to run in Nevada's first-ever primary on February 6, a contest that will not award any Republican delegates.
• Trump's rally comes a day after a jury ordered him to pay $83.3 million in damages to columnist E. Jean Carroll for defaming her by repeatedly denying her sexual abuse allegations.
• Despite facing numerous criminal and civil charges, Trump remains the front-runner in the GOP's primary race.
• Vice President Kamala Harris is also holding a rally in Las Vegas for President Biden's reelection campaign, as a rematch between Trump and Biden in November becomes increasingly more likely.
