Republicans get boost in Nevada with 5-point early voting lead

The Republican Party is getting some good news in Nevada, as early voting returns show the GOP has expanded leads over Democrats ahead of Election Day.

Over half of Nevada’s ballots have already been cast, and early voting is set to end Nov. 1. After the first nine days of early voting, Republicans hold a lead of 5.3 percentage points as the country races toward Nov. 5, per an analysis by the Nevada Independent. The news could spell a boost for former President Donald Trump and Republican candidates down the Nevada ballot, including Senate hopeful Sam Brown, who is running to unseat Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV).
