“I have more steak knives in my back from Republicans that have turned on us and stepped on us for their own benefit,” Nevada GOP Party Chair Michael McDonald said at a recent event in Reno. In 2020, Biden carried Nevada by just more than 33,000 votes via a similar path of winning Clark and Washoe counties. "The Republican Party has lost its mind," Cashell said. “Here in Washoe County, we have made it abundantly clear that if you as a Republican damage the Republican brand, there are consequences,” Washoe County GOP Chair Bruce Parks said in an interview. The county, as well as other Republican county organizations in Nevada have formally censured Republicans, like former GOP party chair Amy Tarkanian, after she endorsed two Democrats in Tuesday’s election.

☆ Joe Manchin tells CEOs it's 'foolish' for them to give money to political candidates while 'asking nothing in return'
  + stars: | 2022-11-03 | by ( Bryan Metzger | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin addressed a room full of top CEOs on Thursday morning. He said that by "asking nothing in return" for political donations, CEOs were "supporting bad behavior." He expanded, contrasting the investments that CEOs make in the business world with the money that they contribute to political candidates' campaign accounts. Manchin suggested on Thursday that CEOs were making political contributions based on broader ideological dynamics — referencing Democrats who are "too liberal" or Republicans who voted against certifying the 2020 election results. While Manchin appeared to be suggesting an outright quid-pro-quo for political contributions, he added that political contributions from CEOs are fueling "bad behavior" by politicians, suggesting a broader point about political dysfunction.
