Lucia Starbuck: 内华达州拥有多元化的人口结构，包括大量的拉丁裔、亚裔、非裔和原住民，以及许多无党派人士。这些群体对选举结果都有显著的影响。内华达州的人口主要集中在拉斯维加斯及其周边地区，其次是雷诺和斯帕克斯，其余地区则较为农村化。拉斯维加斯的经济主要依赖于娱乐和旅游业，但州外地区也存在一些多元化的产业，例如采矿和仓储业。尽管共和党在总统选举中自2004年以来未在内华达州获胜，但由于早期投票显示共和党领先，他们对今年的选举抱有更大希望。内华达州仍然是一个摇摆州，选民投票存在分裂现象。该州的经济状况，特别是拉斯维加斯地区，对共和党，尤其是特朗普的竞选信息有利，因为该州受到疫情的严重打击，失业率较高。生活成本是内华达州选民普遍关心的问题，这也在特朗普的竞选言论中有所体现。
Franco Ordoñez: 工会成员的积极参与是民主党在内华达州取得成功的关键因素之一。克拉克县（拉斯维加斯所在地）的人口构成与美国整体人口构成相似，多元且拥有庞大的工薪阶层，这吸引了来自两党的关注，尤其是特朗普及其共和党试图争取工薪阶层选民。拉丁裔选民并非一个单一的群体，他们的政治观点受多种因素影响，包括出生国、教育程度和收入水平等。共和党试图争取第二代美国拉丁裔选民的支持，他们的投票行为与其他美国人更为相似。
