Trump Becomes First GOP Presidential Candidate To Win Nevada Since 2004
President-elect Donald Trump is projected to win Nevada’s six electoral votes, becoming the first GOP presidential candidate to win the state since 2004.
According to The New York Times, preliminary results show the soon-to-be 47th president leading Kamala Harris in the Silver State by 3.3 points, with more than 95 percent of votes tabulated. The projection was made early Saturday morning, days after Trump officially secured the minimum 270 electoral votes necessary to win the White House.
In a statement provided to The Federalist, Chuck Muth, president of the Nevada-based Citizen Outreach Foundation, attributed Trump’s victory in the Silver State to men who “saw a clear and present danger in putting Kamala Harris in the Oval Office.”
“They did what traditional men do when confronted with a serious threat — they showed up and voted for Trump,” Muth said. “Traditional men, with ample support from strong, intelligent women, saved America.”
The Associated Press projected that incumbent Democrat Sen. Jacky Rosen defeated Republican Sam Brown in the Silver State’s Senate race. As of this article’s publication, Rosen leads Brown by 1.4 points, with more than 95 percent of votes tabulated.
