EXCLUSIVE: Nevada U.S. Senate candidate Adam Laxalt said the state’s governor, Steve Sisolak, will try to “gaslight” citizens about the condition of the state’s economy and more during his Wednesday State of the State address.
“He’s clearly trying to save his re-election,” said Laxalt, a Republican who’s running to unseat Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev.
He added that the off-year State of the State is “just like the impromptu lifting of masks last week that was not based in the data that they used over the last many months to keep us in masks. They went out and lifted it because the polls are against them ad people are tired of it and people want to return to normalcy.”

Sisolak’s address is set for noon PT, 3 p.m. ET. It will be in Allegiant Stadium, the home of the Las Vegas Raiders, who recently played their first season in front of fans since moving from Oakland, California.

Nevada governors normally do not give off-year State of the State speeches. But after the pandemic and as the state’s economy gets back to normal, the governor’s office said Sisolak, a Democrat, will discuss the economy and how to spend federal money that’s flooded the state since the start of the pandemic.
Education and public safety may also be topics of Sisolak’s speech ahead of the state’s next legislative session.
