He plans a speech at 6 p.m. Friday at Sparks High School, where then-vice president Dick Cheney made an appearance the day before George W. Bush won re-election.
It was the last time Republicans carried the state or Washoe County, which had been GOP for four decades. Biden plans to travel to Las Vegas on Saturday.
