NV-04: National Republicans pull money from the race.
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has canceled more than $1.2 million in late advertising in the expensive Las Vegas media market, a sign the party no longer has confidence it can win a key swing seat.
The NRCC had spent about $3 million on advertisements bolstering former Rep. Cresent Hardy (R), who is making a bid to return to Congress after losing his seat in 2016.
Hardy faces a rematch against the man he beat in 2014, former Rep. Steven Horsford (D). The rematch is taking place after the current incumbent, Rep. Ruben Kihuen (D), is not seeking reelection after a single term in the face of allegations of improper behavior toward a staffer.
The district, based in North Las Vegas and stretching into rural counties across the southern half of Nevada, favored Hillary Clinton by a narrow 49 percent to 45 percent margin over President Trump in 2016.
