Former President Donald Trump endorsed Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo for re-election, a year ahead of the general election. Lombardo welcomed the endorsement, pledging to uphold a conservative agenda. Trump previously supported Lombardo in 2022, but some Nevada Republicans favored another candidate. Democrats swiftly criticized the endorsement, linking Lombardo to Trump and accusing him of prioritizing Trumps approval over Nevadans needs, particularly healthcare and rising costs. Attorney General Aaron Ford, a Democratic contender, claimed Lombardo had spent years seeking Trumps approval, neglecting his constituents. Trumps endorsement also commended Lombardos border security efforts, despite Nevada previously being labeled a sanctuary state during Trumps administration.
