The swing state of Nevada has flipped Red in terms of voter registration numbers, according to new data. Alas, registered Republicans now outnumber Democrats by 187 in the state which Donald Trump won by 3.11 percentage points in November 2024.
A total of 8,186 registered Democrats ditched their party affiliation in January 2025. While the GOP also saw losses, they were less than half of that of their Democratic counterparts (-3,832).
The number of Republicans (618,538) in the state is not far from the Election Day 2020 figure of 602,302. It also marks an increase of 7,000 since the most recent presidential election.
On the other hand, the Democrats – once 689,025-strong in Nevada – are now down to 618,352. Despite January’s large-scale losses, the Democrats have only lost 91 registered voters since Kamala Harris’ electoral defeat last November.
As a result, Republicans now lead Democrats in voter registration numbers for the first time in 18 years.
It’s not clear how many voters have flipped from blue to red, but the large increases for other parties suggest many are seeking third-party or independent alternatives. Non-GOP/Democrat registered voters make up 854,313 of the 2.1 million with active party registration – an increase of 280,000 from November 2020.
Conservatives on social media celebrated the news.
Others argued that the flip from blue to red highlighted a surge in momentum for the GOP.
