Nevada GOP governor stands by Trump amid legal battles, distances himself from GOP ‘fake electors’

Associated Press  

RENO, Nev. — Nevada’s Republican governor showed his strongest support Wednesday for Donald Trump in his legal battles since the former president was first indicted for falsifying business records nearly a year ago. Lombardo campaigned with Trump but briefly distanced himself from the former president during a debate in Nevada’s general election, then called Trump “the greatest president” during a rally the following week. Still, Lombardo’s views and those of the state GOP haven’t always aligned, including when Nevada GOP national committeewoman Sigal Chattah called Lombardo a “laughingstock across the nation” on X, formerly Twitter, after he signed two bills related to transgender rights. Lombardo also said he was “outraged” with the Washoe County GOP — Nevada’s lone swing county — for excommunicating a Republican county commissioner he had appointed.
