Why Nevada Politicians Are Skipping Debates

from City Cast Las Vegas · host City Cast

As Nevada candidates increasingly skip debates and dodge traditional media interviews, are voters losing out on accountability? Host Jesse Merrick sits down with Nevada Independent reporter Tabitha Mueller to explore how social media has transformed political campaigning, allowing candidates to bypass journalists and deliver unfiltered messages directly to voters. They discuss whether this shift toward TikTok and Instagram is democratizing political communication or simply helping politicians avoid tough questions. Want to get in touch?
