11. Nevada went very red violet last time, but really depends on Federal funding for most of their economy

Shutdowns always hurt that state badly. In Nevada as it currently stands (thanks to *rump making us the pariah of world tourism), the overall public effect to voting for a shutdown is really the equivalent of not applying for unemployment on principle if you're between jobs and still need to support a family. How can you justify it without appearing to be unrealistic and out of touch.

Whatever you think of MAGAts and GOP being their own worse enemies (think crabs in a bucket), I can see the political calculus that went into her decision.

Disappointed, but not surprised.
