Why Nevada will tell the story of the 2022 election
When people mark the most competitive states on this year's
Senate map, their choices are likely to include states like
Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Most race-rating experts also list
Nevada, even if it's not the most important one.
Indeed, none of the
Democrats holding federal office in the
Silver State should feel safe about their re-election prospects this year. This includes three
Democrats in the House of Representatives and Senator Catherine Cortez Masto. Incumbent
Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak also faces a tough race.
It may not be what you expect from a state that has gone
Democratic in the last four presidential elections, but there are troubling trends within the party.
