DeSantis aside, few presidential hopefuls heading to early state Nevada

Relative to the rest of the GOP field, DeSantis made an early splash at last weekend's Basque Fry.

Indy 2020: Sanders wins what may be Nevada’s last Democratic presidential caucus

Well, we made it! I was trying to do the math and I think, conservatively, I’ve been working somewhere in the ballpark of 96 hours a week since the beginning of the month, written some 40-plus stories and done some two dozen TV and radio hits. I am incredibly sleep-deprived and so ready for the world’s longest nap, but it’s been a rewarding experience and I’m grateful to all the Indy’s loyal readers for following along — and to my colleagues for helping me out on the 2020 beat this last week.
