Attorney General Aaron Ford will address the state after winning Nevada's governor's race.
The governor-elect is set to speak starting at 6 p.m., and 2 News Nevada will carry his remarks live on air and on our website.
Following the victory, Ford's campaign highlighted its message of affordability and opportunities for working Nevadans, while outgoing Gov. Joe Lombardo called for unity as the state prepares for the transition.
The Ford campaign released a statement following the victory, saying:
“Tonight’s victory belongs to the housekeepers, nurses, teachers, rideshare drivers, electricians, and all working Nevadans who will no longer have to settle for working harder than ever yet struggling more and more to afford to live. Governor-elect Aaron Ford overcame being outspent by tens of millions in this race thanks to the strength of his movement of working people fighting for a Nevada we can all afford to call home. Ford will be a Governor for the entirety of the Nevada family and will work tirelessly to build a Nevada in which every person has the opportunity to achieve their American Dream.”
Meanwhile, Lombardo shared a message on X following Ford's victory, saying he called the attorney general to congratulate him.

Lombardo also encouraged Nevadans to prepare for the transition in leadership, emphasizing that the state's shared future is more important than political differences surrounding any single election.
As Nevada prepares for a new governor, both statements address the state's future and the transition ahead.
