The NV seats will be on the DCCC protection lists for the foreseeable future as the state legislature redistricted them so that none are safe. Them being competitive every cycle is the point so that we have a better shot at winning all of them. Titus’s seat is more a lean/likely D seat but might as well lump her in since the DCCC reserves money by media market and all three seats are Las Vegas metro seats.
NV trended about the same as the rest of the nation so I share your concern but it could certainly snap back a bit.
Her district used to be a Dem packed Las Vegas seat and then the state legislature unpacked it in redistricting for the 2020’s to benefit the other two Dem Las Vegas seats.
But, that’s why NV voted blue for four straight POTUS elections and then went red in 2024 while we didn’t lose any House seats that year. The NV Dem trifecta elected in 2020 created a map that is built on maximizing Dem majorities even if we have to work really hard.
NV is going to swing but their population distribution is perfectly set-up for Dem gerrymanders to hold. I can’t think of another state where the Dems are packed so tightly except for UT, which politically and culturally functions as a Wario version of NV.

If I’m not mistaken, Titus benefits in part because certain portions of Clark County are included in NV-01.

Per her own words, “I got totally fucked.”
