“We will not be reversing our position,” said Gordon Brown, Communications Coordinator for the Nevada State Democratic Party, exclusively to the DCNF. The position comes following a letter sent by Nevada’s top state legislators to the Democratic National Committee disagreeing with Biden’s position.

“Nevada is a diverse, working class, union-strong battleground state with strong voting laws and an accessible size…Nevada going first will help Democrats win future presidential elections, more so than any other state under consideration,” wrote Rebecca Lambe, a top aide to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, in a memo before the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting in Washington, D.C. this weekend.
