Deep dives
Historic rainfall and flooding in California
California is experiencing a powerful storm that is causing record rainfall, heavy snowfall, serious flooding, and landslides. Areas from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles have seen significant rainfall, with some spots receiving up to 10 inches over 24 hours. The storm has caused mudslides and debris flows, resulting in devastation for many residents. In Northern California, at least three people have been killed by downed trees. The storm is expected to ease today.
Confusing Nevada Republican primary and caucuses
Nevada is holding both a Republican presidential primary and caucuses, leading to a unique and confusing scenario. A new state law in Nevada requires primary elections if there are more than one candidate on the ballot, but Republicans found a loophole to award delegates through caucuses instead. However, the primary and caucuses have different sets of candidates. Former President Donald Trump is participating in the caucuses, which determine the results, and he is expected to secure all 26 delegates. This puts him closer to securing the Republican nomination by March 12th.
