The NVGOP’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Year

In honor of Halloween, here’s a look back at the NVGOP’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year. Less than a week away from the general election, Nevada Republicans know they have an infrastructure problem and NOTUS noted that one Republican operative in Nevada said GOP Senate candidate Sam Brown has “run a very, very, very bad campaign, one of the worst campaigns we’ve seen in Nevada in a while.” The outlet also said “the GOP’s bleak outlook is most acute in a trio of [Nevada] House races — in the 1st, 3rd and 4th Congressional Districts — where Republicans have almost written off a trio of underfunded nominees, Mark Robertson, Drew Johnson, and John Lee, respectively.” 

The NVGOP renominated fake electors Michael McDonald and Jesse Law to party leadership, which former Nevada GOP state party chair Amy Tarkanian cited as the reason that the NVGOP “isn’t prepared to fulfill its responsibilities of getting the vote out and assisting candidates.” Earlier this year, the Nevada Independent noted that “Trump’s campaign infrastructure [lagged] behind Harris’ campaign” and conservative radio host, Greg Neft warned Republicans that NV Dems have an “excellent messaging machine” and urged the NVGOP to “[catch] up.” MAGA extremist Sam Brown has been criticized for his failure “to generate excitement among conservative voters, even in the more rural parts of the state” due to his “unfamiliarity with state issues.” 

“While Nevada Democrats have built an overwhelming, homegrown ground game that will elect Democrats up and down the ballot, Republicans’ outreach program has been outsourced to out-of-state billionaires who wish to implement Donald Trump’s extreme and out-of-touch Project 2025 here in Nevada,” said Nevada State Democratic Party spokesperson Claudia Alvarado. “The road to the White House leads through Nevada, and while Republicans continue struggling to find their footing, NV Dems remain poised to deliver victories up and down the ballot.”
