Nevada race doubles as a test run for Newsom’s 2028 bid
TL;DR Summary
Nevada’s governor race serves as a preview of Gavin Newsom’s potential 2028 bid, with GOP Gov. Joe Lombardo blaming California’s energy policy for high Nevada gas prices and tying his Democratic rival Aaron Ford to Newsom. Democrats argue voters blame the broader economy rather than Newsom, while a pro-GOP PAC runs ads linking Ford to Newsom; polls show Newsom’s favorability underwater in Nevada, underscoring the state’s role as a proving ground for Newsom’s national ambitions.
