While it's correct that Trump won’t appear on the Nevada primary ballot, it’s not because of an oversight by his campaign staff.

“Only candidates who filed for the Presidential Preference Primary will appear on the ballot,” Nevada Secretary of State’s Office spokesperson Cecilia Heston told USA TODAY. “Former President Trump did not file and is instead running in the party-run caucus.
