“The Holocaust: Reconstructing Shattered Humanity” is now on display at the Governor’s office located off Bermuda Road and Harrah’s Court, south of Harry Reid International Airport.

Despite that Trump won the Silver State, Republican military veteran Sam Brown lost to incumbent Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.). The Senate race came down to the fact that Rosen was the incumbent, according to UNLV political science professor Daniel Lee.
