In the 2022 midterm elections, many Democrats outperformed expectations by holding key governor’s offices and House seats, as well as expanding their majority in the Senate. However, Governor Steve Sisolak of Nevada faced backlash due to lockdowns during the pandemic and the resulting economic downturn, leading to his loss to Republican Joe Lombardo. Now, Democrats are reflecting on their defeat and considering how to oppose President Trump, with Mr. Sisolak contemplating a rematch against Mr. Lombardo. The Republican governor has distanced himself from the state party’s focus on election conspiracy theories, occupying a somewhat unique position within the GOP. In a recent conversation, Mr. Sisolak, aged 71, discussed his possible comeback attempt, the state of the Democratic Party, and economic challenges faced by Nevadans. The former governor is considering his next move as he evaluates the political landscape and looks towards potentially reclaiming his position from Governor Lombardo in the upcoming election.
