The analysis revealed that although the Democratic candidate’s share of the vote decreased throughout the Las Vegas Valley, so did the GOP share (albeit by smaller margins), particularly in suburban areas.

We are pleased to again publish this advance excerpt from this year’s Almanac of American Politics on the state of Nevada and Gov. Joe Lombardo.

Nevada Democrats are arguing that the best way for the DNC to move forward is to further elevate the Silver State. 

A viral Reddit post accusing Republicans of switching votes in Nevada from Kamala Harris to Donald Trump has been viewed thousands of times, but it fails to account for other factors that easily explain certain highlighted disparities in voting data.

Policy changes pertaining to undocumented immigrants — be they congressional or executive — have the potential to upend Nevada, which has the highest percentage of undocumented workers in its workforce of any state.

Inflation, concern about border security and unfocused Democratic messaging all contributed to Trump’s increasing success with Nevada Latinos.

The freshman senator attributes her success to localizing the Senate race, emphasizing her Nevada roots and commitment to bipartisanship and painting Brown as too extreme for the state. This allowed her to win even in a national environment that favored Republicans and keep enough registered nonpartisan and soft Republican Trump voters from picking Brown as well.

Nonetheless, even while discounting the howls of online trolls and purveyors of election fraud myths, there’s something inherently wrong about an election process that takes days on end to announce official results.

A dozen Nevada political strategists, experts and elected officials agreed that the fundamentals of the race — inflation, Trump’s appeal with working-class voters and Biden’s unpopularity — favored Republicans. 

Like several of her Senate Democratic colleagues running in tight races, Rosen was able to win re-election despite former President Donald Trump winning the state at the top of the ticket. With her win, Democrats have retained a critical swing-state seat. By flipping seats in West Virginia, Ohio and Montana, Republicans have now taken control of the upper chamber. Races in Arizona and Pennsylvania, two seats held by Democrats, have yet to be called.

Former President Donald Trump has won Nevada’s six electoral votes, becoming the first Republican to win the state in two decades and riding a wave of discontent over the economy and an embrace of voting methods that Nevada Republicans have previously eschewed.

Trump or Harris? How do nonpartisans break? The Nevada Independent breaks down the most compelling storylines we’re following on decision day.

In a nearly 95-minute stump speech in Henderson, the former president played to an adoring audience while slamming Harris.

Campaigns from both parties have traversed the Las Vegas Valley courting AAPI voters, a critical, growing bloc who could decide several of the state’s close elections. As 12 percent of the Nevada electorate — with 45 percent population growth since 2012 — campaign outreach has reflected the significance and diversity of AAPI voters. 

The event, hosted by Turning Point Action, was geared toward Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander voters — the first Trump event geared toward the bloc in Nevada this cycle. 

A super PAC linked to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is planning to make its first expenditure in the Nevada Senate race, less than two weeks before the election.

Brown's desire to represent Nevadans — to be a politician — was formed even before he arrived, in the destabilizing tribulations of a military leader with a belief in service whose near-death experience in Afghanistan left him without a constituency to guide and a conviction that his life has divine purpose.

Moderators asked questions on a slew of policy areas, but the two frequently did not answer questions directly, with Rosen often touting her record, and Brown switching gears to criticize Rosen for helping pass the Biden administration.

From July through September, Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) raised about $3.5 million more than her GOP opponent, Sam Brown. In the three House races in Southern Nevada, Democrats raked in hundreds of thousands more than their opponents.

Fact checkers say Latinos fared similarly under Biden and Trump, with one expert calling it “a tie.”
