The sources show Joe Biden, not Trump, won Nevada in the 2020 election (50.06% to 47.67%), but the passage never names 2020; the extracted claim adds that year, so it departs from the post, which refers to an unspecified Nevada win.

… They'll take it away. So, I'm out here working hard, but loving it, because I love the people. Nevada GOP Chair Michael McDonald, thank you, Michael. Thank you, Mike. Great job. We won Nevada by a lot, right, Michael? Hadn't been won in many years by a Republican. We won it in record, highest vote in the history of Nevada.

Badlands Media · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. Official and AP results show Biden won Nevada in the November 2020 election with 703,486 votes to Trump's 669,890, so Trump did not win Nevada in 2020.[1][2]
Context. The claimant's passage says 'We won Nevada by a lot' and 'highest vote in the history of Nevada' without naming any election year, so the 2020 timeframe in the extracted claim is an addition the post did not make.
Context. No source addresses a Trump win in Nevada with a record statewide vote total in any election the post could be referring to, so the record-vote assertion is uncorroborated.[2][3]
