Nevada Democrats face brewing civil war ahead of 2024

[RandySF]

Nevada Democrats are grappling with turmoil in their ranks ahead of a critical state party chair election this weekend, sparking fears that the divisions could hinder them as they head into 2024.

Top elected officials have called on Nevada Democratic Party Chair Judith Whitmer to resign as she has fielded unflattering headlines in recent weeks — the latest developments in a series of longstanding tensions between progressive and moderate factions of the party.

Democrats worry that the conflict could roll into the 2024 election cycle, where Nevada holds a crucial early presidential primary for Democrats and one of the Senate’s most vulnerable candidates, Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), is up for reelection.

“What has happened to the Nevada state party is an embarrassment to progressives and Nevada,” said Peter Koltak, a staffer for Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt) 2020 presidential campaign in Nevada. “A lot of it is rooted in incompetence.”

1. good for Sanders! (or spokesperson)

Hard to gin up a lot of sympathy for the people that are trying to purge the rolls ...
'Incompetence' - is probably among the kinder descriptors. And (Al Franken as an exception) - I'm generally in favor of heaving the trash overboard. (before the rot starts infecting ... )

3. Neither Sanders nor a spokesman for Sanders is mentioned in the story. N/T

4. you're correct. I misread.

'former staffer' - which is some ways off from a current spokesperson.
