(CNN) On Saturday, Judith Whitmer won an election to be the next chair of the Nevada Democratic Party . She did so with the strong support of the liberal wing of the party aligned with Vermont democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders and the backing of the local chapter pf the Democratic Socialists of America. The result led to the immediate resignation of the current state party staff -- all of which were aligned with the establishment wing of the party long represented by former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Cillizza: How much should we read into this in terms of the fight for control of the broader Democratic party nationally? Cillizza: Nevada is a swing state -- with a big Senate race in 2022, a governor's race in 2022 and then the 2024 presidential.
