The National Republican Congressional Committee delivered twin blows to Nevada Democrats, accusing Reps. Steven Horsford (NV‑04) and Susie Lee (NV‑03) of political flip‑flopping after both “reversed course on impeaching President Trump,” despite having voted to do so three separate times since 2019.
In two nearly identical press releases the NRCC questions what prompted this sudden about‑face. Did Horsford change his tune for principled reasons—or politics? Meanwhile, Lee’s sudden flip raises eyebrows given that Trump carried NV‑03 in the last cycle. The NRCC claims both are “lying and hiding,” accusing them of prioritizing “political games, chase headlines, and ignore the real issues facing American families.”
NRCC spokesman, Christian Martinez doesn’t mince words. He argues that if House Democrats reclaim the majority in 2026, impeachment will once again be their top legislative priority—leaving issues like border security, inflation, and public safety to the wayside. “Democrat Steven Horsford and Susie Lee aren’t serious about governing—just clinging to power and placating the activist mob. Nevada families deserve leaders who solve problems, not stage political theater.”
With both Horsford and Lee accused of political theater, critics argue Nevada voters must decide whether they want leaders committed to tangible policy results—on issues like housing affordability, water infrastructure, and public safety—or ones willing to play partisan theater at the national level.
Trump’s Strong Showing in NV‑03 suggests the NRCC’s message is aimed squarely at independent voters uneasy with the constant impeachment circus. By spotlighting Lee’s district swing, the GOP hopes to paint Democrats as politically unmoored and out of touch.
Republicans are already framing the narrative around impeachment fatigue. By branding Horsford and Lee as part of the “impeachment game” and highlighting their U‑turns, Republicans are positioning themselves as the party of substance, not spectacle.
For Nevada voters, the stakes are clear. Will they back representatives who prioritize governing—or ones who play political games at the national level? As 2026 races come into focus, this framing may prove decisive.
