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.

Political candidates who cleared the primary hurdle are gearing up for the granddaddy of campaign season: the general election on Tuesday.

The former president’s visit — scheduled just one week before Election Day and three days before the close of early voting — comes as a part of a nationwide campaign swing designed to boost Democratic candidates in the final window before the midterms.

Come one, come all: Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard and Barack Obama are among the political figures who have visited Nevada in recent weeks to stump for their respective parties’ candidates.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg all scheduled campaign events across Northern Nevada on Sunday — Sanders at a rally in Carson City, and Warren and Buttigieg each holding campaign events in Reno. Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar held a rally in Reno on Friday, and former Vice President Joe Biden is attending a private fundraiser on Sunday and will appear at a community event in the city on Monday.

For the first time in the 2020 cycle, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is leading the pack of Democratic presidential hopefuls in Nevada, according to a poll from the Las Vegas Review-Journal and AARP Nevada.

The pitch from the Democratic presidential hopefuls to Iowans Sunday night was simple: You matter.

At the Native American Presidential Forum on Wednesday, Democratic presidential hopeful Tom Steyer accused the Republican Party of “doing everything it can” to take voting rights away from Americans, especially Native Americans. The forum, hosted at UNLV by the voting rights advocacy group Four Directions and Nevada’s tribes, was the second-ever of its kind. Though the first Native forum was hosted in Sioux City, Iowa last summer, organizers wanted to hold another event in a state with a significant Native population and that will be primary a focus for get-out-the-vote efforts in 2020.

By the time Nevada's caucus rolls around, several Democratic presidential candidates will have been campaigning for a full year and some of their staffers on the ground in the Silver State will have been here nearly as long.

Presidential campaign expenditure reports aren’t known for being glitzy. There are trips to Office Depot and Costco for supplies, furniture from IKEA, quick lunches at Panera Bread, rental cars, flights, staff salaries and office rent. But when your campaign comes to Las Vegas, those reports suddenly get a lot more interesting.

Former Vice President Joe Biden holds a 10 point lead over Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders among likely Democratic presidential caucusgoers in Nevada, buoyed by an intense focus on electing a candidate who can beat President Donald Trump, according to a new poll by The Nevada Independent released Monday.

The formula for winning Las Vegas — and the other quarter of the state’s residents in northern and rural Nevada — is straightforward: Get here early, build connections with the community, maybe persuade a politically powerful union to endorse them and send out foot soldiers on their behalf and, above all else, hold those house parties, knock those doors and make those phone calls.
