Trump carried Nevada by three points in November's presidential election after narrowly losing the Silver State in 2016 and 2020. He became the first Republican presidential nominee to win the state in 20 years, since then-President George W. Bush carried the state in his 2004 re-election.

The Las Vegas trip follows Trump's trip to California on Friday where he toured the devastation of the Los Angeles fires with residents who were personally impacted and participated in a roundtable with disgraced Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and other state officials.
