Former President Donald Trump publicly voiced his strong support for the current lieutenant governors of both Nevada and Idaho, signaling a clear intention to rally behind established figures in key states.
In a series of posts on his social media platform, Trump lauded Stavros Anthony of Nevada as a “fantastic” leader, specifically praising his dedication to the state’s residents. The endorsement was delivered with characteristic emphasis, declaring Anthony would “NEVER LET YOU DOWN!”
Anthony responded with gratitude, publicly thanking the former president for his backing and expressing anticipation for a meeting in Las Vegas. His statement highlighted the value he places on Trump’s continued support for both his campaign and the state of Nevada.
Turning his attention to Idaho, Trump extended similar enthusiastic support to Lieutenant Governor Scott Bedke, recalling his past electoral successes within the state. He specifically mentioned victories in 2016, 2020, and 2024, emphasizing his strong connection to Idaho voters.
Echoing his Nevada endorsement, Trump proclaimed Bedke as a “tremendous” lieutenant governor and reiterated his unwavering confidence, again asserting that Bedke “WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” The language mirrored the forceful tone used in his support for Anthony.
These endorsements follow previous statements where Trump had already signaled his support for the governors of both Nevada and Idaho, Joe Lombardo and Brad Little, respectively, demonstrating a pattern of backing incumbents within these states.
