In Nevada’s GOP primary for governor, Lombardo continues to lead handily. But looking at the county-level results, the hardcore Trumpist Gilbert has the edge in the peripheral rural counties, which is interesting. Nevertheless, he can’t match Lombardo’s showing in Clark County, which is understandable — Lombardo is the county sheriff there — and given that Clark makes up a slightly majority of the vote in most GOP statewide primaries, that may be all Lombardo needs.
In the Republican primary for attorney general, Sigal Chattah — who has staked out some extreme positions like wanting to prosecute women who get abortions, despite abortion being protected in Nevada — is currently leading with 48 percent. More establishment-aligned Tisha Black is not far behind, however, with 44 percent. Bear in mind that these results are just from Clark County; northern Nevada may have voted differently.
