In a victory speech with less fervor compared to former President Donald Trump’s impassioned address in New Hampshire, Trump celebrated his fourth consecutive landslide win late Thursday night in Nevada’s caucus.
“This has been an incredible day, and if we secure the state, we easily clinch the November election,” Trump addressed his Nevada caucus supporters, highlighting the significance of this battleground state in his bid against President Joe Biden. “Winning this state is crucial.”
“If we secure Nevada, it’s a game-changer, and our nation will soar to new heights, greater than ever before,” Trump proclaimed as he concluded his remarks after midnight ET.
Unlike his post-New Hampshire victory speech, Trump refrained from targeting former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley but humorously pondered how swiftly he’d be declared the victor in the upcoming primary.
“The turnout was remarkable,” Trump remarked, touting the high voter “enthusiasm” and record-breaking participation. “Lines stretched far back, and they knew who the winner would be. We achieved 98%.”
With victories in Iowa, New Hampshire, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and now Nevada, Trump remains undefeated at 4-0, underscoring his nationwide appeal and support.
Making the journey from South Florida to Las Vegas, Trump prioritized celebrating with his Nevada base, recognizing their pivotal role in securing the White House.
“If we don’t win this election, our country is at stake,” he cautioned. “Great nations prioritize strong borders and free, fair, and transparent elections. Currently, we lack both, but we will restore them.”
Although Haley refrained from participating in the caucus, citing its alleged bias against her, and instead competed in a Nevada primary, Trump didn’t miss the opportunity to jest about her loss to “None of These Candidates” by a significant margin.
“Last night’s outcome: ‘None of the above,'” Trump quipped, indirectly addressing Haley. “So, congratulations to none of the above.”
Earlier in the day, at Mar-a-Lago, Trump addressed the media following oral arguments at the Supreme Court regarding Colorado’s attempt to bar him from the presidential ballot.
“It’s been a phenomenal day and night: The Supreme Court’s involvement is critical in upholding democracy,” Trump remarked.
In a lighter moment, Trump expressed eagerness to face Biden and commence efforts to “Make America Great Again.”
“Can we fast-track the election to next Tuesday?” Trump jested. “Let’s get the ball rolling. We will not only make our country great again, but greater than ever before.”
