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.

LIVE RESULTS: Nevada election 2024

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. She campaigned on lowering costs for the middle class, defending abortion rights and tackling the climate crisis. Over the summer, she introduced legislation that would allow extreme heat to qualify as a disaster under federal law, pointing to heat waves that have crippled the West.

The Associated Press declared Trump and Rosen the winners at 12:15 a.m. EST.

Major winter storm closes state offices across northern Nevada Tuesday

Governor Joe Lombardo announced Tuesday morning that state government offices in Carson, Douglas, Lyon, Storey, and Washoe counties are closed due to severe winter weather.

According to the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) and the Department of Public Safety (DPS), snow, freezing temperatures, and gusty winds are expected to continue throughout Tuesday, February 17. Recent storms have already made travel across the region dangerous, with icy roads and limited visibility creating hazardous driving conditions.

Essential public safety and corrections personnel will remain on the job, but all other state offices in the affected counties will stay closed until conditions improve.

Governor Lombardo is urging Nevadans to follow guidance from NDOT and DPS, slow down on the roads, and use extra caution if travel is necessary.

If you don’t have to drive, officials say it’s best to stay home and let road crews do their work.
