Good point; NV's always been a lean Democratic state that trended rightward in 2020 - but in reality, the GOP at a state level has pretty much collapsed.

 NV03 was represented from 2011 to 2017 by a Republican (Joe Heck) and has since been represented by a Democrat.

 Somewhat similarly, NV04 was represented from 2015 to 2017 by a Republican (Crescent Hardy) but only by a Democrat since then.

  From 2001 to 2019, for eighteen whole years (except a brief period when the seat was vacant), NV's Class 1 seat was held by a Republican (first John Ensign, then Dean Heller). However, in 2018 Heller lost reelection to first-term representative Jacky Rosen by five points.

 And most poignantally for the GOP, they lost the Nevada governership. Brian Sandoval - a Republican! - had been reelected in 2014 with over 70% of the vote, carrying all of NV's counties with over 60% and all but Clark County with over 70%. But in 2018, a retiring Sandoval was replaced by Steve Sisolak (D), who beat Adam Laxalt (R) by a pretty decent margin.
