This single victory has officially turned the state into a red state.
The Daily Wire reports, “Decision Desk has called the Nevada gubernatorial race for Republican Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo. Lombardo received 49.24% of the vote compared to Democrat incumbent Steve Sisolak’s 46.99%.”

The article continues, “Sisolak faced several headwinds. President Joe Biden’s poor approval ratings, astronomical inflation, and a crime wave, hurt Democrats’ polling numbers during both the summer and fall. Then, following Tuesday’s initial results, things looked like they might improve for the Democrat.”

Sisolak faced several issues that marred his candidacy with controversy. Per the Daily Wire, “Additionally, 68-year-old Sisolak faced numerous corruption charges from Republicans after a ProPublica investigation in May revealed Sisolak’s administration was responsible for fast-tracking a lab license. Then, they awarded several COVID testing contracts to Northshore Clinical Labs.” Northshore Labs was found to have donated thousands to his campaign.

The Democrat attempted to run a smear campaign on Lombardo by claiming the Republican would ban contraceptives. Lombard denied the allegations, and Sisolak had no evidence to support his claims.

However, Lombardo used his stance on critical issues to win the race. The Daily Wire says, “Lombardo, 60, ran a campaign focused on other critical issues that matter to voters. His campaign centered more on education, economic issues, and crime. It paid special attention to the prevalence of black market Fentanyl in the state. The longtime law enforcement officer has portrayed himself as a moderate on other issues, such as abortion, consistently downplaying what he could do to limit abortion as governor.”

Lombardo also played it smart regarding questions about his opinion of Trump. He said he was a great President, didn’t hype up the President, but simultaneously didn’t bash him. He then released a statement after the debate pointing out the great things President Trump did for the country. Lombardo’s intelligent moves, an uncompromising stance on crime, and not feeding into the negativity helped him win more voters.
