Nevada Set to Play Crucial Role in 2028 Presidential Nominating Process
Nevada State Democratic Party Chair Daniele Monroe-Moreno released the following statement in response to the DNC setting the 2028 presidential nominating calendar:
“In 2028, our Democratic nominee will need to craft an economic message that resonates across the country, reach and win back working-class voters, and regain the trust of diverse communities who we must turn out in order to claim victory and retake the White House. Nevada is that broad coalition of voices—Latino, Black, AANHPI, and Native American as well as white working-class voters—that will test a candidate’s ability to win in a general election.
“This new calendar best represents who we are as a party and I am excited to showcase our state as Democrats’ first true test in the upcoming presidential nominating process.”
With its diverse population, Nevada is poised to become a pivotal state in the Democratic Party’s 2028 presidential nominating process. The state embodies a rich tapestry of voices, including Latino (31.2%), Black (11.3%), AANHPI (10.60%), Native American (2.70%), and white working-class voters. As the most labor-dense state in the calendar, organized labor represents a notable 13% of Nevada’s workforce, emphasizing its importance in labor politics.
Nevada’s status as a consistently competitive swing state, where elections are often decided by narrow margins, further underscores its significance. The state-run primary is scheduled for February 1, 2028, marking an important date in the Democratic nominating calendar.
