All 49 Nevada Democratic delegates unanimously endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s nominee for president, following President Joe Biden’s announcement that he will not seek re-election and supports Harris as his replacement. Nevada State Democratic Party Chairwoman Daniele Monroe-Moreno expressed confidence in Harris, citing her understanding of Nevada and contributions to the Biden administration’s progress. Political experts suggest that endorsing Harris early can avoid a contested convention and unite the party around one candidate.
Notable Democrats in Nevada, such as Assembly Speaker Steve Yeager and delegate Matt Kimball, have endorsed Harris, emphasizing her historic potential as the first Asian American to receive a major party’s presidential nomination. The AFL-CIO, representing over 150,000 union members in Nevada, also announced its endorsement of Harris for her support of labor rights.
Harris’ campaign has gained momentum, raising $81 million in its first 24 hours and recruiting a record number of volunteers. The Nevada campaign for Harris, with over 80 staff in 13 offices across the state, is continuing the groundwork laid during the Biden-Harris campaign. Delegate Kimball is optimistic about Harris’ prospects and does not anticipate a disorderly convention like the one in Chicago in 1968.
The Nevada Democratic Party is mobilizing early to ensure Harris’ victory in November, viewing the state as a crucial stepping stone to the White House. With strong support from party members, labor unions, and volunteers, Harris’ campaign in Nevada is well-positioned for success in the upcoming election.
