As Democrats take uneven steps toward rebuilding — with differing opinions across the party about how often to challenge Trump and some voters calling for candidates willing to fight — Cortez Masto wants moderate senators to lead the charge.

The Nevada Democratic Party faces a crossroads: To revitalize its political movement, it must move beyond blind party loyalty and embrace the dynamic energy of competitive primaries that reflect the evolving needs and aspirations of its constituents.

The division was evident even among Nevada’s usually harmonious Senate delegation — Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) announced Friday afternoon that she would vote against both the bill and cloture, the 60-vote threshold to end debate on the bill. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), meanwhile, announced she would support it.

Nevada Democrats are arguing that the best way for the DNC to move forward is to further elevate the Silver State. 

The White House is pausing federal grants and loans starting Tuesday as President Donald Trump's administration begins an across-the-board ideological review of its spending, causing confusion and panic among organizations that rely on Washington for their financial lifeline.

Policy changes pertaining to undocumented immigrants — be they congressional or executive — have the potential to upend Nevada, which has the highest percentage of undocumented workers in its workforce of any state.

Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Jacky Rosen (D-NV) will be part of the minority next year, and as such, likely won’t swing any decisions — President-elect Donald Trump can afford to lose three Republican votes on any nominee. But it’s their first opportunity to take stances on Trump policy via his personnel and question them on Nevada-specific issues.

The lame duck period also provides the senators with their last opportunities to make requests of the outgoing president — important, given that many constituents are calling on Biden to Trump-proof the federal government with new regulations or policies, and that the next president will be far less inclined to listen to feedback from Democratic senators.

The committee votes are the first marker of how senators feel about the bills. The Washoe lands bill passed 10-9, on a party-line vote, while the Clark bill was a more bipartisan endeavor, passing 13-6. Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Steve Daines (R-MT) joined all Democrats to advance the measure.

A super PAC linked to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is planning to make its first expenditure in the Nevada Senate race, less than two weeks before the election.

Some senators’ currency is media attention; others are known for their erudite mastery of a policy niche; some operate on ruthless instinct. Rosen’s approach is all about friendliness — but, as Harris alluded to, kindness can be killer.

Adelson, the wife of the late gaming magnate Sheldon Adelson and an ardent supporter of her native Israel, has been among the chief financiers of Trump’s political ambitions.

Both of Nevada’s senators voted in favor of a long-stalled package to expand the child tax credit, but the proposal was ultimately killed by Senate Republicans.

A rule change allowing House members to expense lodging and food costs while in D.C. has brought a spate of headlines this month about exactly what representatives are charging taxpayers for.

Amodei, as readers will recall, got a promotion on the congressional Appropriations Committee this year, moving up from chairing the legislative branch subcommittee to homeland security — a thankless role if there ever was one.

How does Brown win over Jewish voters — already a difficult task given their status as one of the most consistently liberal identity groups in the U.S. — when their current senator shares their faith?

Nevada’s Democrats are now calling for further immigration and border-related policy, but they’re asking the Biden administration to take the lead — a tacit acknowledgment that a congressional immigration deal is impossible, at least in an election year.

Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) introduced a bill today to create a federal grant program to fund the expunging or sealing of state-level cannabis offenses — using federal dollars to achieve a goal of legislative Democrats who passed a similar bill in 2023 but were stymied by Gov. Joe Lombardo's (R) veto pen.

Some of Schumer’s priorities overlap with Nevada’s senators’ desires for the next few months — but they also have bills targeting Nevada-specific initiatives they want to see get passed.

Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) placed a $14 million ad reservation for the Las Vegas and Reno media markets Thursday, a massive buy portending another expensive Senate race this cycle.
