HENDERSON, Nevada—As far as late-campaign rallies go, there wasn’t much flash but plenty of pan, as in dire warnings about what awaits should Joe Lombardo fail to unseat Nevada’s incumbent Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak in Nov. 8’s midterm elections.
The Clark County Sheriff and GOP gubernatorial candidate was speaking to 75 people gathered on Nov. 6 in a meeting room at the Nevada Republican Party’s office in Henderson. He spoke again of the vast differences in the GOP and Democratic Party’s vision for America’s future.
Lombardo’s list of bad things that would happen under a second term of a Sisolak administration included ongoing inflation, a sustained border crisis, uncertainties with election integrity, the quashing of parental rights, and fear of growing crime.
But that’s not going to happen, Lombardo told the crowd, because “I am confident” to become the next occupant of the governor’s mansion in Carson City.
Analytic election forecasters and polls aren’t so certain. Every statistical projection describes the race as a tossup and polls are indecisive, with Lombardo leading Sisolak by less than a percentage point while in August, surveys had Sisolak with a 2 percentage point advantage.
