Gov. Ron DeSantis has complained about Nevada’s presidential selection process, and his gripes are likely to continue, given that the state’s Governor is backing Donald Trump.
“We need President Trump’s decisive leadership back in Washington, D.C. President Trump oversaw record economic success, implemented strong foreign policy, and ensured our law enforcement officers are treated with the respect they deserve,” said Gov. Joe Lombardo.
Lombardo’s endorsement comes less than a day after Trump claimed DeSantis wasn’t even running in Nevada’s Feb. 8 contest, an allegation called “fake news” by DeSantis’ campaign.
“I hear that we’re up 100 points because (DeSantis) has just dropped out of the race, and he’s the only one that tried to challenge us, and he just dropped out of the race. He just announced they’re dropping out.”
“Well, wait a minute, you might have missed,” Trump added. “I meant when I say he dropped out of the race, he dropped out of the race in Nevada.”
Even though Trump was just stirring drama, there is no apparent path for DeSantis in Nevada.
A recent Emerson College Poll of Nevada Republicans found the Florida Governor 65 points behind Donald Trump’s 73%. DeSantis’ 8% tied him with “undecided” for second place, and put him 2 points ahead of Vivek Ramaswamy and 4 points ahead of Chris Christie. Both of them have dropped out of the 2024 race.
Emerson’s poll is actually showing a bigger lead than a Trump internal survey. Per a McLaughlin and Associates poll from December, Trump was at 75% with 15% for DeSantis overall. However, Trump’s lead with the most committed voters was 84% to 9%.
DeSantis previously has claimed the Nevada Republican Party is “basically trying to rig it for Trump,” and that’s why “the delegates are going to be done on the caucus.”

Trump continues to deride Ron DeSantis by making like he’s quiting the election. What an arrogant jerk! Pride goeth before a fall, dude. And the fact that he wants to wrap up the Republican nomination early shows how power-hungry he is. What about the rest of us who haven’t voted yet? Don’t we count? A dictator is one who will stop at nothing to grab power. There can be dictators on either the left or right side of the aisle. The left, Communist Russia (aka Stalin) and China (aka Mao) are like Biden who is chummy with Putin and XI. The right (like Nazism and Hitler) were like Trump and MAGA Republicans who will stop at nothing to gain power and control. The Republicans who are for Trump are mostly good people who follow him blindly but are not aware that those who do not remember the mistakes of the past, like Neville Chamberlain cow towing to Hitler and Nazi Youth and the Holocaust , are doomed to repeat them. Be afraid. Be very afraid.😠🌎🇺🇲✡️
