Former President Donald Trump will be making a campaign appearance today in Las Vegas supporting two America First candidates running for statewide office in Nevada.
Joe Lombardo is running for Governor and Adam Laxalt is running for the U.S. Senate, two crucial races in a state which has been trending toward Republicans all year.
The event today is not a Trump event specifically but it’s a stop the former President will be making on his way to the Save America rally on Saturday for Sarah Palin in Alaska.
Here are all the details on how to watch Trump’s speech today in Las Vegas and tune in live.

According to reports, both candidates, Lombardo and Laxalt, are locked in tight races in a state that has shown a willingness to sometimes lurch to the right in wave year elections:
Lombardo, sheriff for Nevada’s Clark County, is running in the state’s gubernatorial race against incumbent Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak. Lombardo won the Republican primary in June, beating fellow GOP candidate Joey Gilbert by about 11 percentage points, 38.4 percent to 27.6 percent.
FiveThirtyEight, which provides poll averages that take into account quality, sample size, recency and any partisan leanings, found that Sisolak was leading Lombardo by 2.1 percentage points as of June 15.
Laxalt is running with the hopes of unseating Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto. He won his GOP primary in June with more than 50 percent of the vote, while Cortez Masto won the Democratic primary by a wide margin with about 90 percent support.
A poll conducted from June 24 to June 27 by Future Majority found that Cortez Masto was leading Laxalt by three percentage points, 46 percent to 43 percent.
Polling data, as noted above, shows races that are within the margin of error and bad news for Democrats unable to top 50% likely due to the bad environment nationally created by President Biden.
Nevada has been a tough state for Republicans but 2022 is offering a unique circumstance where national headwinds are creating a toxic environment for Democrats on issues like inflation and the economy.
The roundtable with Lombardo and Laxalt kicks off around 8 pm ET with President Trump following around 9 pm ET.
