"Nevada's Dueling Elections: A Confusing Spotlight for GOP Voters"

Republican presidential candidates are gathering in Nevada for the Republican Jewish Coalition's annual meeting, with Donald Trump set to make an appearance. Nevada is a crucial early state in the 2024 election, but there are concerns about potential voter confusion due to the state's dual primary and caucus system. The state-run primary will be followed by party-run caucuses, which will determine the allocation of delegates. Critics argue that this setup favors Trump, as the state party is accused of attempting to tilt the scale in his favor. There are also logistical challenges in organizing the caucuses, particularly in rural areas.

"2024 GOP Candidates Seek to Differentiate Themselves on Israel at Republican Jewish Coalition Summit"

GOP 2024 presidential candidates attending the Republican Jewish Coalition's annual conference face the challenge of distinguishing themselves from former President Donald Trump on their support for Israel as the country battles Hamas. While Trump remains popular among Jewish conservatives, his criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has raised questions about potential fallout. Candidates hope to establish themselves as strong supporters of Israeli security without alienating Trump's supporters. Attendees also want to hear how each candidate would handle the crisis differently from President Joe Biden and address the persistence of antisemitism. Trump, who plans to attend the conference, aims to highlight his record on Israeli security, while other candidates seek to demonstrate their foreign policy credentials during the crisis. Major Republican donors, including Miriam Adelson, have declined to provide financial support to any candidates at this stage.
