President Donald Trump is set to deliver remarks to a Team Trump Nevada Commit to Caucus Event in Reno, Nevada, on Saturday, Dec. 17.
Trump will speak to supporters in the Reno Sparks Convention Center at 2:00 p.m. ET. The doors for the venue will open at 2:00 p.m. ET, and speakers will deliver remarks beginning at 1:00 p.m. ET.
An early primary state, Trump’s visit to the Silver State comes less than two months before Nevada’s Republican caucus on Feb. 6 and 8.
Although there has not been an abundance of polling from the state, one of the more recent polls from SSRS/CNN of 650 Registered Voters found Trump with a wide lead over his 2024 GOP primary counterparts.
Trump led the pack of candidates with 65 percent support, while his closest challenger Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis placed in second with just 13 percent.
Former S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley placed third with six percent, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy in fourth with four percent, and former N.J. Gov. Chris Christie in fifth place with two percent.
Other candidates or those who had already exited the primary race received a combined total of nine percent.
Polling for 2024’s general election shows Trump with an early lead over Biden in Nevada. The Real Clear Politics average shows Trump with an average lead of four points over Biden (47.5 percent to 43.5 percent) in the Silver State.
Nevada will be one of the most closely watched states of the 2024 cycle, as both the likely Democrat and GOP nominees Joe Biden and Donald Trump will fight to win the state’s six electoral votes.
Joe Biden narrowly won Nevada in 2020 by less than three percentage points, and Hillary Clinton won by a similar margin during her failed 2016 White House bid.
However, Republicans have seen a favorable shift in state trends in the years since. Republican Joe Lombardo flipped the state’s gubernatorial race in 2022, defeating then-incumbent Democrat Gov. Steve Sisolak.
Nevada’s U.S. Senate race was also very close, with incumbent Democrat Sen. Catherine Cortez-Masto narrowly winning reelection by less than one percentage point.
Be sure to tune into RSBN’s LIVE broadcast of the event beginning at 3:00 p.m. ET.
The speech will be streamed via YouTube, Rumble, Facebook, GETTR, X, and RSBN’s app and website.
