FACT BRIEFDid 26K Clark County voters support Donald Trump and Jacky Rosen in 2024?
Yes.
More than 26,300 Clark County voters in the 2024 general election who supported President Donald Trump also backed Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV).
The county's cast vote data — records of voters' selections on all counted ballots that do not show personal information — showed that about 5 percent of the nearly 500,000 people supporting Trump in Clark County also voted for Rosen.
Of these, about 43 percent voted by mail.
By contrast, about 8,400 people supported Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican Senate candidate Sam Brown, about 1.6 percent of Harris' Clark County total.
Rosen and Harris each barely surpassed 50 percent of the Clark County vote, while Trump performed much better than Brown.
