In a recent squeal from the Washington Examiner, it has been revealed that the Democratic senator, Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV), is relying heavily on bigwig out-of-state donors to fund her 2024 reelection campaign. The report exposed that a whopping 45% of the $3.2 million she raised came from Washington, D.C., California, and New York, leaving just a mere 9% coming from the pockets of her fellow Nevada residents. This naughty nugget of information is sure to ruffle the feathers of Republicans, who have been wagging their fingers at Rosen for her spendy ways at ritzy resorts and voting against tax cuts.

Rosen’s rival, retired Army Capt. Sam Brown, is circling in for the attack with the backup of Senate Republican leadership. Brown’s campaign manager, Faith Jones, pointed out that Rosen’s reliance on out-of-state cash may be the reason she’s been voting against Nevada’s best interests. Brown himself has been snatching a heaping 28% of his funding from good ol’ Nevada, proving that he’s got his sights set on representing the locals, not the high rollers from the big three states.
So, who’s been slipping those crisp dollar bills into Rosen’s campaign piggy bank? Well, it seems like she’s been cozying up to some big shots, including Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Meta (you might know them as the parent company of Facebook). And that’s not all! Other bigwigs like the vice president of public policy for Meta, the CEO of Bain Capital, and even the wife of film director Steven Spielberg have been tossing money her way. It’s no wonder Brown’s camp is making a fuss about Rosen’s allegiance to her home state. They’re crying out, “Follow the money, folks!”
The battle for the Nevada Senate seat is expected to be a real humdinger, with surveys showing Rosen and Brown neck and neck. Politicos are predicting that this race will be a real showstopper, especially with the big bucks being thrown into the ring by outside groups. And let’s not forget about Rosen’s voting record, which has her siding with President Joe Biden 93% of the time. With Biden’s approval rating on the rocks, Republicans are sure to use Rosen’s cozy relationship with the prez as a juicy talking point.
So what’s the bottom line here, you might ask? Well, it looks like we’ve got a real down-and-dirty showdown on our hands as we head into the 2024 election. Who will come out on top? Only time will tell, but you can bet your bottom dollar that conservatives will be watching every twist and turn of this high-stakes political theater with bated breath.
