On Saturday, March 4, 2023, Nevada Democrats voted Judith Whitmer out as state party chair and elected Assemblywoman Daniele Monroe-Moreno, 314-99 per The Nevada Independent as relayed by The Hill. NBC News framed it as “ending a troubled reign marked by divisions and infighting.” The Nation reported that Whitmer lost by more than three-to-one, and that “every one of Whitmer’s candidates lost” while Monroe-Moreno’s “Unity” candidates won.

Context, as one outlet reports it

The Nation says the party had been “riven by divisions” since the 2021 takeover, and gives its own list of reasons. Those are the outlet’s account, not the party’s.
