- In 2020, President Biden won Nevada by bringing together a broad Democratic coalition.
- But he faces tough headwinds this year, as the state's economy has lagged relative to the country.
- Polls show Trump with an edge on the economy, a dynamic Biden will have to change to win reelection.
For over fifteen years, Nevada has been a major success story for the Democratic Party.
The late Sen. Harry Reid was instrumental in building up the state party, which led to high-profile victories like Barack Obama's presidential victories in 2008 and 2012, Catherine Cortez Masto's Senate win in 2016, and President Joe Biden's win in 2020.
