Democrat Aaron Ford unseats GOP Gov. Joe Lombardo in Nevada
Ford led Lombardo 52.21% to 47.69% in early returns as Democrats and Republicans traded millions of dollars in ads and attacks.
- Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford won Nevada's gubernatorial race on Wednesday, defeating Republican incumbent Joe Lombardo. NBC News projected the victory at 4:46 a.m. EST.
- Democrats repeatedly tied Lombardo to a "Lombardo-Trump economy," blaming President Donald Trump and the governor for rising costs in gas, housing, and healthcare that weighed heavily on Nevada voters.
- Ford secured endorsements from former Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Barack Obama, who called him a "fighter for Nevadans." Ford becomes Nevada's first Black governor.
- The result serves as a major boon for Democrats two years before the next presidential election, breaking a state trend where Nevada's last two governors failed to secure re-election.
- Republicans had scrutinized Ford's attorney general record and campaign proposals, but the party faces a setback after their successful 2022 gubernatorial victory in the competitive state.
