Summary

Immigration is a top issue in the 2024 election. But instead of addressing it, House Republicans are focused on impeaching the U.S. Homeland Secretary. Meanwhile, the economy is off to a strong start under President Biden, but a new poll shows voters think Donald Trump would do a better job on the economy. Then, Nevada’s GOP primary will be held tomorrow, while the state’s GOP caucus will be held on Thursday. Trump and Nikki Haley will not be on the same ballot, and it’s causing some confusion. Dave Aronberg, Yamiche Alcindor, Luke Broadwater, Cornell Belcher, Mark McKinnon, Amy Tarkanian, Fmr. Nevada State GOP Franciso Aguilar, and Steve Waldman join.
