In Nevada governor's debate, Trump-backed Lombardo seeks distance from former president

LAS VEGAS — In a wide-ranging and mostly civil debate in Las Vegas, Democratic incumbent Gov. Steve Sisolak and Republican challenger Joe Lombardo, the sheriff of Clark County, duked it out on education, taxes, inflation and abortion.

Notably, the two candidates only agreed on one issue: that the 2020 election was not stolen.

Asked by moderator Jon Ralston whether he agreed with the false claims by former President Donald Trump that the last presidential election in Nevada was “rigged,” Lombardo said, “No I do not.”

Asked if he thought Trump was a “great president,” Lombardo said, “I wouldn’t use that adjective.”
