LAS VEGAS (AP) – The Latest on the Nevada caucuses (all times local):

8:50 a.m.

Marco Rubio has edged out Ted Cruz for second place in the Nevada caucuses.

The Associated Press finds the difference was fewer than 2,000 votes.

In an appearance on NBC’s “Today” show, Rubio says that it will be easier to stop Donald Trump once the race is narrowed.

Trump was the big winner in Nevada’s Republican caucuses Tuesday. It was his third straight commanding victory in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
