2026Election Stories

The Green Party has not been on a Nevada general election ballot since 2008.

The decision marks the third legal defeat for the RNC and the Trump campaign this election cycle.

A super PAC affiliated with the fiscally conservative Club for Growth is dropping $4 million on a new ad campaign to boost Republican Senate candidate Sam Brown in Nevada.

Vice President Kamala Harris is set to launch a battleground tour next week with her yet-to-be-named running mate, with stops in seven swing states stretching from Pennsylvania to Nevada, her campaign said Tuesday.

Harris' favorability among Black voters already surpasses Biden's by 7 points, according to a mid-July poll from the left-leaning pollster Data for Progress.

He accused Harris of being culpable for record-setting border crossings, a "cover-up" of President Joe Biden's health and an economy that saw high inflation (which has since eased).

An analysis found 26 new PACs and political nonprofits were registered between April 1 and the June 11 primary. The groups raked in more than $1.6 million in that period, which only became public this month.

The contribution was the Sands' largest contribution on the state level this election cycle.

During the 11 months in which her 2020 presidential campaign was active — Harris ultimately dropped out before the Nevada caucus — she visited the state 10 times and hosted 27 events with a wide variety of demographic and interest groups, making her one of the most frequent visitors on the Silver State trail. 

Officials verified about 22,000 signatures, more than the roughly 10,000 needed to qualify. The only other obstacle is a still-pending lawsuit by Democrats seeking to block Kennedy's ballot access.

The poll found that about 72 percent of respondents supported the proposal to cap attorney fees at 20 percent of all settlements and awards in civil cases.

Nevada's delegation to the Democratic National Convention committed its 49 votes to Vice President Kamala Harris — securing the swing state's slate of delegates for Harris as she attempts to rapidly consolidate support after President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race Sunday.

Dozens of first-time volunteers showed up at campaign events. Voters who had previously been unengaged answered texts from the campaign for the first time. Infrequent volunteers committed to more phone banking and canvassing shifts. And in East Las Vegas — where the campaign's office focused on Latino voters, a group the president had struggled to connect with — 12 voters walked in and volunteered on the spot.

Biden said he had decided not to accept the Democratic Party's nomination and offered "my full support and endorsement" for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Sam Brown was one of several U.S. Senate hopefuls to take the stage Tuesday night in Milwaukee, providing him with a prime opportunity to introduce himself to a national audience — and donor base.

The measure, which survived an initial legal challenge, would be placed on the 2026 ballot if it passes this year.

In a Wednesday ruling, Chief U.S. District Court Judge Miranda Du dismissed the case on the grounds that the plaintiffs did not have standing to file the lawsuit.

President Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19 Wednesday afternoon while visiting Las Vegas.

Across 10 contested legislative races throughout the second quarter, Democratic and Republican candidates each led the fundraising race in five of them.

With the primary finalized and congressional contests now set, Democrats — and a self-funding independent — maintained massive financial leads over their Republican opponents through the end of June.
