Ford Wins Nevada Governorship, Democrats Take Trifecta
In college basketball, Nevada’s stronger defensive profile and home-court advantage are cited as reasons to favor a lower-scoring game against Utah Valley, whose impressive scoring and three-point numbers come from just two games. In Carson City, spectators selected the People’s Choice winners in the 2026 Nevada Day Parade decorating contest, following the Oct. 31 parade themed “Pumpkins, Pioneers & Tall Tales.” Nevada’s midterm election also produced a major Democratic shift: Aaron Ford defeated incumbent Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo, becoming the state’s first Black governor, while Democrats secured control of the governorship and both legislative chambers. The results were framed by Democrats as a rebuke of current President Trump’s administration, and Ford has named a transition team.
