AP Race Call: Donald Trump wins Nevada [View all]
Source: PBS
Former President Donald Trump won Nevada on Saturday, returning the state and its six electoral votes to Republicans for the first time since President George W. Bush carried it in 2004.
Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris made multiple campaign stops in the state this year. Most of Nevada’s counties are rural and voted heavily for Trump in 2020. But Democrat Joe Biden that year won the two most populous counties of Washoe and Clark, the latter of which includes Las Vegas and three-quarters of the state’s residents.
Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., won reelection to a U.S. Senate seat, fending off a fierce challenge from Republican Sam Brown.
A first-term moderate in a presidential battleground state, Rosen was among the GOP’s top targets.
