A Democratic Party primary was expected to take place on June 11, 2024, in Nevada's 2nd Congressional District to determine which Democratic candidate would run in the district's general election on November 5, 2024. The primary was not needed after no Democratic candidates filed for the seat.

All 435 seats were up for election. At the time of the election, Republicans had a 220 to 212 majority with three vacancies.[1] As of June 2024, 45 members of the U.S. House had announced they were not running for re-election.

In the 2022 election in this district, the Republican candidate won 59.7%-37.8%. Daily Kos calculated what the results of the 2020 presidential election in this district would have been following redistricting. Donald Trump (R) would have defeated Joe Biden (D) 54.1%-43.1%.[2]

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Nevada has a closed primary system where a voter must be affiliated with a party to vote in that party's primary. A voter may be able to affiliate or change their affiliation on the day of the primary.[3][4][5]

This page focuses on Nevada's 2nd Congressional District Democratic primary. For more in-depth information on the district's Republican primary and the general election, see the following pages:

    Post-filing deadline analysis

    The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Nevada in 2024. Information below was calculated on April 13, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

    Twenty-two candidates ran for Nevada’s four U.S. House districts, including five Democrats and 17 Republicans. That’s 5.5 candidates per district, less than the 8.25 candidates per district in 2022, the 10.0 candidates per district in 2020, and the 10.5 candidates in 2018.

    The 22 candidates who ran in Nevada in 2024 was the fewest number of candidates since 2014, when 19 candidates ran.

    No seats were open in 2024, meaning all incumbents ran for re-election. There were two House seats open in 2018 and one in 2016, the only two election cycles this decade in which House seats were open.

    Nine candidates—two Democrats and seven Republicans—ran for the 3rd Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a seat in Nevada in 2024.

    Six primaries—two Democratic and four Republican—were contested in 2024, tying with 2014 for the fewest this decade.

    Three incumbents—two Democrats and one Republican—faced primary challengers in 2024. That’s the same number of incumbents who faced primary challengers in 2022, but less than the four incumbents who faced primary challengers in 2020.

    The 2nd Congressional District was guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed to run. Republicans filed to run in every district, meaning none were guaranteed to Democrats.
