Event Summary

United States — Nevada held its state primary elections on Tuesday, featuring competitive races for governor, U.S. House seats, and various state offices. Incumbent Governor Joe Lombardo faced six Republican challengers, while six Democrats competed for their party's gubernatorial nomination. The U.S. House 2nd District primary was particularly notable as current Republican Congressman Mark Amodei is not seeking reelection, with Donald Trump endorsing 2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Nevada and Joe Lombardo endorsing James Settelmeyer. Other significant races included primaries for state Senate and Assembly, and a mayoral election in United States — Henderson, Nevada. The results of these primaries will set the stage for the 2026 midterm elections and could have implications for the 2028 presidential race, given United States — Nevada's status as a swing state.
