For the first time since 2004, a Republican presidential candidate won the Silver State. Former President Donald Trump won Nevada's 6 electoral votes, but how did he beat his 2016 and 2020 margins?

The Cook Political Report's Matthew Klein joins this week's Ballot Battleground: Nevada podcast with host Ben Margiott to explain the gains Trump made with key demographic groups to secure Nevada and the remaining 6 battleground states.

Plus, election night reporters Kim Burrows and Sophie Lincoln join to explain what it was like reporting from the county's mail ballot processing room and the UNR polling place, respectively.

Ballot Battleground: Nevada takes deep dives into the people, policies and debates shaping politics in our critical battleground state.
