Nevada Governor Lombardo Endorses Trump for Upcoming Caucus

Despite a previous pledge to stay neutral, Lombardo backs Trump, citing his economic and foreign policy record, as Trump leads in national and Nevada polls.

Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo has endorsed former President Donald Trump for the state's upcoming caucus, despite previously pledging to stay out of the GOP presidential primary.
Lombardo's endorsement gives Trump support from leaders of the next two primary states after New Hampshire's contest next week.
Trump holds a significant lead over GOP rivals Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis in national polls, with about 62 percent support.
In the only Nevada poll of the race released so far this year, Trump led his opponents by 65 points, taking 73 percent support.
Lombardo's endorsement is significant as Nevada will hold both a caucus and primary on Feb. 8 and 6, respectively, and only the caucus results will award delegates for the Republican Party’s nominee selection.
