After sweeping the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary — the first Republican in a competitive presidential nomination race to do so since the GOP started using the Iowa caucus in 1976 — former President Donald Trump will run unopposed in the Nevada caucus on Feb. 8 and appears to be safely ahead in polls in the South Carolina primary on Feb. 24.
The Republican National Committee even briefly considered naming Trump the “presumptive” GOP nominee before the plan was scrapped.
But arguably the most important primary is the one directly ahead — the Supreme Court — the unelected third branch of the federal government, which will be hearing oral arguments on Feb. 8 in the Fourteenth Amendment, Section 3 case with Trump challenging the decisions by Colorado and Maine to bar him from appearing on either the state primary or general election ballots.
