Locked by the power in DC, Democrats in Nevada weigh the next steps to turn things up – Nevada Independent

Members of the Democratic National Committee gather in the DC area this week to select their party leaders. This is a critical moment for the Democrats, which are closed by the White House power and the two chambers of Congress, lost all seven swing states in the presidential race and are trying to figure out how to prevent such losses in the future.

Democrats in Nevada claim that the best DNC ​​way to move forward is to further raise the silver state.

But not all Nevada representatives in DNC are on the same page for who is the best candidate for the chairman who applies this vision.

The news of the week: DNC officer competitions

The two leading candidates for DNC chair are a couple of leaders in the Midwest – Ken Martin of Minnesota and Ben Wicler of Wisconsin.

The two men ideas for DNC leadership are quite similar. Martin, who is the president of the Association of State Democratic Committees, has a lot of loyalty among the bosses of state parties, while Wikler, an impressive fundraising, counts national leaders as a speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the Senate Leader of the Minority Minority Leader (D-NY) Among their supporters.

The voting pool is only 448 DNC members. Beyond the President, several other positions are ready for elections. Art Blanco, a longtime DNC member of Nevada and Director of AFL-CIO campaigns, is running for a vice-chairman in a crowded area, with the support of several labor leaders and all Democrats in the Nevada Delegation.

The elections, which are on Saturday, come to the Trump administration two weeks, when the president’s strategy “Flood of the Zone” to sign a storm of executive orders prevented the Democrats from raising a cohesive answer.

For Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) The Message Strategy is simple-Trump won due to dissatisfaction with the economy, Democrats must consistently call it when his actions are not related to the high cost of goods.

“Does he reduce prices?” Cortes Masto said at a press conference. “And if not, what does he do to handle it? [Democrats need to] Show that it does not reduce prices. Honestly, he is not. “

The Democrats in Congress and the countries were reinforced this week by the Trump Administration’s order on Tuesday to pause all the federal aid – the moving Democrats quickly protested as unconstitutional and dangerous and who was struck by a judge that day.

Senator Jackie Rosen (D-NV) talks about the pause on the Senate floor on Wednesday, emphasizing the North Nevada-based Renault Health Center, which relies on federal funding and had to apply freezing on Tuesday. Democrats across the country hope to use examples from their areas of people affected by Trump’s policies.

“The power of the bag [is] not his [to] Take away and just decide what he likes, what doesn’t do it, what a condition likes, what doesn’t do it, “Rosen said. “This is obviously our purpose and we have to stand up and fight for it.”

Nevada’s angle: all about 2028

The Democrats in Nevada restarted their first tide in December, with the note describing in detail the case of the state to host the first president’s nomination competition.

None of the candidates for the chairman made any commitments to certain countries on the calendar. But four of the six DNC delegates of Nevada-influential President Daniele Monroe-Moreni-goodwill Martin. In the meantime, Nevada DNA Committee Samantha Crunkilton is committed to Wikler, saying she thinks he has “the best chance of building a democratic party that wins.” And Blanco is publicly intact.

The majority of the non-unlit approving Martin does not necessarily mean that he will press the campaign for the first in the nation-state. Martin also has the approval of reporter Jim Clayburn (D-SC), the Democratic King of South Carolina and several prominent party figures in New Hampshire.

When DNC set the calendar in 2022, raising South Carolina at the request of then -President Joe Biden, the Democrats had a sedentary president. Without an obvious party leader, the first -national campaign will be from a diverse group of stakeholders of DNC.

Regardless of who wins, the longtime spokesman for the Democratic in Nevada, Molly Forgi stated that the president’s candidates were interested in reassessing the calendar.

“We use our voice as often as we can,” Forgi said. “And so we will make sure that anyone who has a role in choosing a calendar will hear from us.”

Impact

The fight against the calendar will be related to the direction in which the Democratic Party seeks to go in 2028 and the main logistics for holding a nomination competition. Given the Bleeding of the Party with Latinos and Working Class Voters, Democrats in Nevada have a convincing case to make candidates who have to establish their bona fide in good faith with these groups early, as a campaign in Nevada.

But in the governing body as small as DNC, Clout of the Casemakers – for every country – it matters and many. Since DNS employees are present, Democrats can move to establish a time -dedicated calendar – a solution that they repeatedly postpone in 2021 and 2022. Future presidential candidates will hope that DNA is moving quickly, To know where he needs to start spending time.

Around the capitol

💲ira funds in the limbs – With all inflation reduction funds frozen by Trump’s executive order from his first week, the Nevada agencies, who have obliged the grants through the law, have stuck in the limbs. This includes three huge money from money that benest people cannot draw, at least temporary – solar energy worth $ 156 million for all grants, the clean school buses and the grant of the community.

The same applies to the federal funds that the Governor of Energy has planned to use immediately as a program of energy discounts to improve energy efficiency and measures to save costs for energy bills.

These funds are legally obliged to the recipients in Nevada – although the delay is legal, their repeat, without congress approval, would be a detention that Congress exceeds in 1974. But the Trump administration seeks a court struggle for detention – and clean energy funds in Nevada will hang in the balance.
