Sources confirm Trump (R) carried Nevada in 2024 with about 751,205 votes, the most of any candidate in the election tables provided, so the claim that Republicans won Nevada with the highest vote total is directionally supported.

What was said

… 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.

What we found

Supports. Multiple sources confirm Trump (R) won Nevada in 2024 by about 3.1 points, with 751,205 votes to Harris's 705,197.[2][3][4]

Supports. The vote totals in the historical tables show the 2024 Trump total as the largest single-candidate figure among the years listed, consistent with a record vote total.[3][4]

Context. No source explicitly states that the 2024 total is the highest in Nevada history; the historical tables are incomplete, particularly for early elections.[1][5]

Context. The Nevada 2026 midterm early vote is still in progress with the final day on Nov. 3, so the claim cannot refer to a completed 2026 result.[6]
