NV-4: Horsford out

Breaking.

So the Democrats will run Lucy Flores in that case? Probably a bit easier on Hardy, though it's still difficult to see him winning.

Yea, I can't imagine this district not having a strong Dem bench. But this announcement gives Hardy a boost in chances of holding the seat (from like 5% to 10%, but still).

More like 30%, if not slightly higher. Sabato, who ended up doing quite well (aside from governors, which nobody predicted well) last year despite the bashing on him here, has this at Toss-Up.

Lucy Flores is a joke candidate whose claim to fame is "look at me I had an abortion!" she lost this district badly last year and gives hardy a fighting chance at holding this seat, democrats should really look elsewhere

[RogueBeaver]

Sounds like Flores is in. Almost immediately after Reid put out his statement on Horsford's decision.

[Miles]

Flores' statement on Facebook was a bit longer.

[RogueBeaver]

Kihuen is also considering a run, may announce in next few days. Already spoken to DCCC and Team Hillary.

[DrScholl]

In a presidential year, it's hard to see a Republican holding this seat, no matter who they face.

[Zioneer]

Wow, really? This seat was almost guaranteed to go back to Horsford in a presidential year. Hope he's not out of politics completely.

Didn't he have this race as Safe D at this point in the 2014 cycle?

It's also a year and a half out. Sh*t like this is meaningless.

Likely D, and he switched it to Lean D later in the cycle.
