KOLO: Nevada gas prices hit highest mark in 4 years
8 News Now: Affordable Care Act enrollment projected to plunge by 5 million as costs spike, analysis shows
Welcome back to your weekly rundown of the damage the Lombardo-Trump economy is doing to Nevada — from driving up costs to leaving working families behind.
Joe Lombardo admitted that he doesn’t understand how Donald Trump’s foreign policies are harming our state while Nevadans feel the effects every single day at the pump and grocery store. In fact, Nevada gas prices hit the highest mark in four years after Trump launched his endless war with Iran (that Lombardo was quick to back).
While Lombardo remains out of touch with Nevadans in pain, his campaign is spinning reality and claiming “our economy is moving in the right direction.” The truth is, unemployment is still higher in Nevada than when Lombardo took office, consumer sentiment just sank to an all-time low, and businesses are shutting down as inflation outpaces wage growth.
