One time ambassador to the United Nations and former governor of South Carolina Nikki Haley has registered as a candidate in Nevada's Presidential Preference Primary.

She joins major candidates Tim Scott, also of South Carolina, and former Vice President Mike Pence in the state-run primary.

No word yet on if Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson are also planning to register. As of yet, both candidates are not registered in the state's primary or the GOP caucus.

The deadline for presidential candidates to file for Nevada's Presidential Preference Primary (PPP) is tomorrow Monday, October 16th. The filing deadline for the Nevada GOP's First In The West Caucus was today, Sunday, October 15th. 

As we've been reporting, the Nevada GOP will not allow candidates who participate in the February 6th state-mandated PPP to participate in their February 8th party-run caucus.

Additionally, the caucus is the only nominating contest that awards delegates to the national convention. Candidates must pay $55,000 to compete in the Nevada GOP Caucus.

Last week, two major candidates snubbed the Nevada GOP's caucus: former Vice President Mike Pence, and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott.

The candidates who are participating in the caucus are former President Donald Trump, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.

Interestingly, three major candidates have yet to choose either contest.

They are former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson.

Nevada is the third nominating state behind Iowa and New Hampshire, so we should expect to hear whether the remaining candidates will jump in the race.

On the Democratic side, President Joseph R. Biden and Marianne Williamson have filed for the Nevada Presidential Preference Primary Election.
