内华达州共和党州长乔·隆巴多预计将与民主党人亚伦·福特展开今年竞争最激烈的选举之一

哥伦比亚广播公司新闻预测,内华达州民主党总检察长亚伦·福特与共和党州长乔·隆巴多分别赢得了今年内华达州州长选举的党内初选,这将为11月的投票铺平道路,而该选举也是民主党瞄准的关键竞选之一。

来自克拉克县的福特周二击败了多名初选对手,他最强劲的挑战来自进步派人士亚历克西斯·希尔。据内华达大学拉斯维加斯分校政治学教授丽贝卡·吉尔表示,福特凭借全州当选的最高级别民主党人的身份,在参选时就拥有知名度和结构性优势。

隆巴多同样在周二击败了多名初选对手。

该州民主党人已经开始将攻击目标对准隆巴多,民主党州长协会也将内华达州列为其首要竞选目标之一。

《库克政治报告》将内华达州州长选举评为“势均力敌的摇摆选区”。

11月的选举预计将在很大程度上成为对特朗普总统的全民公投,因为该州深受特朗普标志性政策的重创,包括移民政策和关税政策。加拿大游客占拉斯维加斯外国游客的一半,而2025年外国游客数量下降了17%。

占该地区就业岗位30%的旅游业在2025年整体下滑7.5%,是1970年该市开始统计数据以来,除新冠疫情期间外最大的游客到访量降幅。

作为总检察长,福特在2025年牵头发起了40多起针对特朗普政府的诉讼,这一点将成为他击败隆巴多的竞选活动中的核心议题。

隆巴多今年早些时候告诉《政客》杂志,他对连任感到“担忧”。

“这不仅关乎我的连任,也关乎内华达州的未来,对吗?”隆巴多说,“人们常说‘所有政治都是地方政治’?现在情况已经不一样了。无论我们是否认同,世界和国家层面发生的事情都会影响到我们。”

政治学教授吉尔表示,隆巴多在11月的选举中将面临“一场艰难的战斗”。

自2008年以来,内华达州在大多数总统选举中都将票投给了民主党人,该州还拥有两名民主党参议员。但该州经济严重依赖旅游业,而旅游业因新冠疫情及其封锁措施遭受重创,这使得内华达州选民在2022年将隆巴多选为州长。两年后,特朗普以3个百分点的优势赢得该州。

Nevada GOP Gov. Joe Lombardo projected to face Democrat Aaron Ford in one of this year’s most competitive races

Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, a Democrat, and Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo won their parties’ primaries in this year’s Nevada gubernatorial race, CBS News projects, setting up the November ballot in one of the races Democrats are targeting.

Ford, who is from Clark County, defeated several primary opponents on Tuesday, with his most formidable challenge coming from progressive Alexis Hill. According to University of Nevada-Las Vegas political science professor Rebecca Gill, Ford had entered the race with name recognition and a structural advantage as the highest-ranking Democrat elected statewide.

Lombardo also defeated multiple primary opponents on Tuesday.

Democrats in the state have already begun zeroing in on Lombardo, and the Democratic Governors’ Association has identified Nevada as one of its top targets.

The Cook Political Report has rated the Nevada gubernatorial race as a toss up.

The November election is expected to be largely a referendum on President Trump, as the state has been hit hard by some of Mr. Trump’s signature policies, including immigration and tariffs. Canadians account for half of Las Vegas’ foreign tourism, which has dropped by 17% in 2025.

Tourism, which accounts for 30% of the region’s jobs, in 2025 declined 7.5% overall, the largest visitor drop outside of the pandemic since 1970, when the city started tracking data.

As attorney general, Ford signed onto more than 40 lawsuits in 2025 against the Trump administration, something that will figure prominently in his effort to unseat Lombardo.

Lombardo told Politico earlier this year that he is “concerned” about reelection.

“Not only because of my re-elect but because of Nevada, right?” Lombardo said. “What’s the proverbial line — all politics are local? It’s no longer that way. What’s happening worldwide, nationally, either we embrace it or we don’t.”

Gill, the political scientist, said Lombardo will have an “uphill battle” in November.

Nevada had voted for Democrats in most presidential elections since 2008, and the state has two Democratic senators. But the state’s economy is heavily dependent on tourism, which was decimated by the COVID-19 pandemic and its lockdowns, leading Nevadans to vote Lombardo into office as governor in 2022. Two years later, Mr. Trump won the state by three points.
