LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — President Donald Trump endorsed Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo for re-election on Thursday.
The president shared on the social app Fact Social a prolonged publish endorsing Lombardo, which the Governor shared on his X (previously Twitter) web page.
This marks the second time Trump has endorsed Lombardo for the place after endorsing him in 2022 when then-Clark County Sheriff Lombardo was vying to be the Republican nominee in opposition to former Governor Steve Sisolak.
“Joe Lombardo is the strong and very popular Governor of Nevada, a very special place to me in that we had a BIG Presidential Election Win just one year ago, November 5, 2024!” the publish started.
President Trump went on to listing Lombardo’s accomplishments, noting he was the previous Clark County Sheriff in addition to a U.S. Military Veteran.
“Joe strongly supports our incredible Law Enforcement, Military, Veterans, and knows the Wisdom and Courage it takes to Promote LAW AND ORDER,” Trump wrote.
“As Governor, he is fighting tirelessly to Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Ensure NO TAX ON TIPS, Advance MADE IN THE U.S.A, Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Provide Access to Affordable Health Care, Champion School Choice, Keep our now very Secure Border, SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, and Defend our always under seige Second Amendment,” Trump continued.
Lombardo launched his re-election bid in September at a marketing campaign kick-off occasion in Las Vegas.
“This is where my journey began. Right here,” Lombardo mentioned of Rancho Excessive College, the place the occasion was held. “There was no phantom of me attending high school that I would eventually run for governor. Never in the back of my mind and the front of my mind.”
“Looking ahead to 2026, the stakes couldn’t be higher or the risk any larger,” Lombardo mentioned on the occasion. “If democrats take back power in Carson City, you know what happens. Higher taxes, fewer jobs, boys in girls’ sports, and more soft-on-crime laws.”
“Joe Lombardo is SMART, STRONG, AND TOUGH, and he has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election–HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!” Trump’s publish concluded.
In his personal social media publish, Lombardo thanked Trump for the endorsement and his management.
“I look forward to continuing my work to advance our conservative agenda and keep Nevada red!” Lombardo wrote.
This endorsement comes days after Democrats gained a number of key races in different states, together with Zohran Mamdani, who gained the mayoral election in New York Metropolis.
