Senator Jacky Rosen, a Democrat from Nevada, recently won re-election in a closely contested race in a state that also went to President-elect Trump. She is now advocating for Nevada to be the first in the nation primary in the 2028 presidential election. In an interview with Fox News Digital, she expressed her pride in Nevada’s diverse population, stating that the state reflects the nation’s diversity.

The Nevada Democratic Party has also put forth the argument that Nevada should hold the first primary in the next presidential race. State party Chair Daniele Monroe-Moreno emphasized the importance of elevating Nevada as the first primary to win back working-class voters and voters of color. Rosen listed the diverse attributes of Nevada’s residents, including a growing Asian-American population, a robust Black community, strong unions, and a thriving tourism industry.

Rosen believes that Nevada’s diverse population and economic drivers make it an ideal place for Democrats to kick off the presidential primary season. She hopes that potential Democratic candidates will visit the state to hear from a wide range of voices, including small businesses, veterans, seniors, and various community groups, to better understand the concerns and hopes of the people.

The push for Nevada to host the first primary in 2028 comes as Democrats gear up to select a new party leader following Jaime Harrison’s announcement of stepping down as DNC Chairman. Rosen’s advocacy for Nevada as the first primary also follows the controversial decision to make South Carolina the first primary in the 2024 election, causing backlash from states like New Hampshire, which traditionally held the title of the first-in-the-nation Democratic primary.

Reflecting on her narrow electoral victory against Republican candidate Sam Brown, Rosen emphasized her motto of finding common ground where possible and standing firm on key issues when necessary. She highlighted her bipartisan efforts and effectiveness as a senator, ranking among the most bipartisan lawmakers in Congress.

Rosen’s advice for Democrats running in competitive races in 2026 is to be present, engage with constituents, listen to their concerns, and work towards practical solutions. By finding areas of agreement and prioritizing the needs of the people, Democrats can make a positive impact in their communities and beyond.
