Nevada’s Democratic delegates to meet to discuss Harris’ presidential bid
Nevada Democrats have rushed to offer words of support for Vice President Kamala Harris, but the question of whether the state’s delegates will back her candidacy remains unresolved.
The state party will be meeting with delegates sometime in the next 48 hours to determine how the Nevada Democratic delegates are feeling about Harris as a candidate, according to someone with knowledge of the party who was not authorized to speak on the record.
Queries to more than a dozen delegates went unanswered Sunday; those who responded echoed their support for the vice president.
Nevada’s Democratic members of Congress have all voiced their support for Harris. Reps. Dina Titus and Steven Horsford confirmed they will vote for her at the convention as a superdelegate if the need arises. Superdelegates do not vote in the first round at the Democratic convention.
Democratic Rep. Susie Lee and Sens. Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto’s issued statements voicing support for Harris, though their spokespeople have not returned requests on whether or not they’ll commit their superdelegate votes to Harris.
‘The choice is clear’
In a social media post Monday, Nevada Assembly Speaker Steve Yeager endorsed Harris, adding that he was “ridin’ with Biden” but is now “cruisin’ with” the vice president.
“I will be working hard each and every day to elect Democrats up and down the ticket,” the delegate’s post said.
Delegate and Nevada State Sen. Fabian Donate took to social media to endorse Harris’ nomination, adding that she could help with the crucial Latino vote.
“As an immigrant’s daughter, Kamala Harris knows the struggles our families have faced in this country,” Donate wrote in Spanish. “Now is the time that the U.S. get with the times and elect our first female president!”
Nevada delegate Matt Kimball told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Monday that he was “on board” with Harris, noting that she would be the first Asian American to receive the presidential nomination by a major U.S. political party.
“As an Asian American, I think that’s incredible that this country has come very far from where it started,” Kimball said.
Kimball, who has been involved with Nevada politics since 2017, and much longer before that, recalled witnessing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton give her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention.
“The energy in that room was incredible,” he said. “I can tell you that Chicago is going to be amazing.”
Kimball, who had supported Biden’s nomination, said that as of Monday morning, he’d only spoken to a couple of fellow delegates, but he imagined that there would be more formal meetings in the near future.
While he doesn’t know how the convention will play out, Kimball said he was positive Harris would prevail.
“I don’t think we’re going to see what happened in Chicago last cycle,” he said about the split and contentious 1968 convention there.
Kimball — a union worker — said he planned to vote for Harris at the convention, and then in November.
“The choice is clear,” he said, “Donald Trump crossed my union’s picket line (in New York) in 04. I’m never going to vote for a candidate who does that.”
Clark County Commissioner William McCurdy II, who also is a delegate, endorsed Harris on Sunday because in regards to Nevada, she “shows up, listens and she delivers.”
This election will be the most important of our lives, and I could not be more proud to endorse and work to elect Kamala Harris as our next POTUS!,” he wrote on social media.
The campaign raised $81 million in its first 24 hours since Harris announced her bid for president on Sunday, her campaign announced Monday. The $81 million will be added to the existing nearly quarter of a billion dollar war chest amassed throughout the election cycle.

Lori Wisniewski lost her Nevada City home in a fire last year and has been living in a 150-square-foot tiny home while she waits for her house to be rebuilt.
It’s being rebuilt at little to no cost to her, thanks to her community stepping up to help.
“I had to jump off the deck, and I thought the dogs would be coming out too, and they didn’t, so that’s very sad,” she said, recounting the day of the fire on January 27, 2025.
Wisniewski lost her pets and home after an accident with her wood-burning stove. She says she wasn’t sure how to move forward without proper insurance and navigating the process without her husband, who died from cancer.
“In First James, it talks about serving widows and orphans as being true religion. So when I saw Lori’s story come across my path, I knew that was an opportunity to put my money where my mouth is with my faith,” said Matthew Sutherlin, CEO of Green Bee Construction.
Sutherlin is spearheading the rebuild of Wisniewski’s home with the help of donated time, labor and materials from other local tradespeople and businesses.
“Who am I to have a designer? And part of me, too, is when I have to choose everything, I always try to go for the least expensive item or tile or front door,” she said.
“Everybody has been shaving things off and donating things and getting reduced costs all the way across the board. That’s what has made it possible for this project to have worked,” said Sutherlin.
It’s been all hands on deck during the last year.
Wisniewski was excited to show us the inside of the house and what’s to come. As a former post-surgical nurse, she even decided an accessible room would be a nice touch for friends or anyone who lent a hand.
“If somebody has to recover or needs a few days to get around after a surgery, they can come and stay in here,” she said.
The builders say the weather has been posing a challenge, especially coupled with hazardous materials leftover from the fire. But they’re getting through it together.
“Every person has stepped up to offer their help. The timing with all the different processes has worked out in our favor. I really believe the whole thing has a blessing on it, really,” said Sutherlin.
Builders expect to be finished with the house in late spring or early summer.
“This community, a lot of them have seen your reports. At Grocery Outlet, ‘oh, you’re the one whose house burned down,’ and I always go into the most important thing about this is what people from the community are doing for this purpose or cause. I sometimes wonder why me? Why am I getting this opportunity? So that’s where I am today,” said Wisniewski.
LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford is set to hold a press conference to discuss the status of multiple lawsuits against the Trump administration.
Officials say the address will take place on Tuesday, Jan. 13. The conference will cover both the financial and nonfinancial wins regarding claims that the Trump administration has “practiced destructive overreach.”
