Nevada Democrats have ousted a slate of democratic socialists who took over the state party two years ago, ending a troubled reign marked by divisions and infighting.

Judith Whitmer was booted from her position as chair in a Saturday vote, with a new slate headed by Nevada Assemblywoman Daniele Monroe-Moreno assuming control of the party......

The results come after a tumultuous term under Whitmer, who repeatedly clashed with key figures in the party. Establishment Democrats charged that she had at times undermined her own party, including Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, who was in a close re-election race last cycle.

Whitmer also lost the support of some of her progressive allies, including in Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' camp and with local democratic socialists......

In 2022, Nevada Democrats largely held onto state posts in the face of what should have been good conditions for Republicans. Cortez-Masto's win by fewer than 8,000 votes ended up becoming the deciding seat in the Senate, allowing Democrats to retain power.

The exception was the governorship, making incumbent Steve Sisolak the only sitting governor to lose his seat in 2022.
