President-elect Donald Trump spoke at a campaign rally at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada, on October 11, 2024.

Why did Nevada go red for president for the first time in 20 years? What will Donald Trump’s second presidential term look like in the Silver State over the next four years, particularly for public lands, immigration, and education? And what makes Nevada purple? These key questions were answered in this month’s episode of Purple Politics Nevada hosted by KUNR editor Vicki Adame, featuring political reporter Lucia Starbuck, senior correspondent Bert Johnson, and KNPR political reporter Paul Boger.
