Sisolak Blasts Trump's Nevada Rallies, May Alter Directives

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak asked in a letter to Vice President Mike Pence why President Donald Trump's campaign defied White House guidance on public gatherings by holding two weekend rallies in Nevada.

The letter reflects a departure from Sisolak's previously moderate tone toward the White House over its handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

Sisolak also said Wednesday that state officials will review the 50-person cap on public gatherings and the 50% capacity limit at businesses including casinos.
