Steve Sebelius on Political Violence, Jurisdiction, and Nevada’s 2026 Races

On today’s episode of The Middle Ground, Tom Letizia sits down with veteran political journalist Steve Sebelius for an in-depth conversation spanning national headlines and Nevada politics.

The show opens with breaking developments in the Charlie Kirk shooting investigation, including this morning’s press conference confirming a suspect’s arrest. Sebelius and Letizia explore the crucial legal question of whether the case will remain in Utah state court or move into federal jurisdiction, and what that decision means for penalties, precedent, and the broader fight against political violence in America.

From there, the discussion pivots to Nevada’s fast-approaching 2026 election cycle. Sebelius offers sharp analysis on the governor’s race, attorney general’s race, and mayoral contests in North Las Vegas and Henderson, putting today’s headlines into context with the shifting political landscape at home.

Whether it’s the risks of disinformation, the balance between free speech and security, or the inside track on who’s running where, today’s episode delivers both immediacy and insight — only on The Middle Ground.
