When President Donald Trump sat between the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan last week, few people realized the significance of the meeting and the months of negotiations that took place beforehand to get two hostile nations to come together at the White House.

The Silver State and the Lone Star State may swing different ways politically, but they have at least one thing in common: an “F” rating for partisan gerrymandering. Nevada’s 2021 rejiggering of the state’s congressional districts received the failing grade from Princeton University’s nonpartisan Gerrymandering Project Redistricting Report Card for giving Democrats a significant electoral advantage in the U.S. House of Representatives.

President Donald Trump has announced a new initiative aimed at reducing crime in the nation's capital by deploying the National Guard and assuming control of the Washington, D.C. Police Department. The move is part of Trump's broader strategy to address crime in the city, which he has vowed to clean up.

President Donald Trump announced he will place the District of Columbia police under direct federal control. At the White House on Monday, the president revealed he will deploy the National Guard to "help reestablish law and order" to tackle homelessness and crime.

Democrats lost ground in many of their historic strongholds in Clark County’s urban core from the 2022 to 2024 elections, when President Donald Trump rewrote the political map in becoming the first Republican to win Nevada in two decades. But there are slivers of hope for Democrats looking ahead to 2026.

Setting the stage for what is expected to be a highly competitive fight for Nevada governor, Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford announced Monday he will challenge Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo next year.

Moderates have historically been an endangered species in the Nevada Legislature — and that didn’t change in 2025. Although some of Nevada’s 63 lawmakers have a higher penchant for voting across the aisle, a Nevada Independent analysis of votes on hundreds of bills from the 2025 session showed that moderate voting records were the exception, rather than the norm.

The Senate narrowly passed President Trump's so-called "big, beautiful bill" with a 50-50 vote, requiring Vice President J.D. Vance to cast the tie-breaking vote. This development follows a prolonged effort to secure unanimous Republican support for the legislation, which Trump aims to sign into law by Friday.

By the time the dust settled on the 2025 Nevada legislative session, more than 300 bills sponsored by lawmakers had reached Gov. Joe Lombardo’s desk. The Republican governor eventually rejected more than a fifth of these bills, vetoing 68 of them while signing 243 into law.

In the final days of Nevada’s legislative session, it looked like major changes could be coming to state elections.

Expanding insurance coverage for critical medical procedures, allocating $133 million for attainable housing and instituting accountability for Nevada schools are among some of the biggest legislative policy proposals that are now law.

The President's decision to federalize the National Guard in Los Angeles has sparked legal debate, as it marks the first time such an action has been taken against a governor's wishes since the Civil Rights Movement.
