The Nevada Senate race remains within the margin of error, but McDaniel called Scott’s aggressive early spending critical to having blunt attacks from Democrats, when the national conversation centered on the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade. [Then] once our candidates had the money to get on TV, they closed the gap," McDaniel said. Vance in Ohio, McDaniel and Scott both quickly called it a “team sport,” without specifically naming McConnell, despite his group’s sizable investments. Some Republicans have expressed frustration over Scott, saying he spent too much too soon while his group’s fundraising this year fell behind the pace it held in previous campaign years. Cortez Masto, the first-ever Latina elected to the Senate, scoffed when asked about Laxalt's contention that he's eating into her Latino support.
RENO, Nev. — One day before early voting begins here, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto argued that voters should rebuke her GOP opponent at the ballot box for his role in promoting falsehoods about the 2020 election. Cortez Masto is locked in what appears to be dead heat against Laxalt, the Republican former attorney general of Nevada who has said the 2020 election was "rigged." In that same interview, Laxalt said, “There’s no question they rigged the election,” referring to 2020. In Nevada, Cortez Masto is battling to retain her Senate seat in a contest that could determine the balance of power in the U.S. Senate. Cortez Masto’s messaging is part of a concerted effort by her campaign focusing on Laxalt’s past remarks on voter fraud.
Rep. Dina Titus is running against Republican Mark Robertson in Nevada's 1st Congressional District. The 1st District is located in Clark County, covering many Las Vegas suburbs. Nevada's 1st Congressional District candidatesTitus is serving her 6th term in the US House of Representatives. In 2013, Titus returned to Congress after winning in the 1st Congressional District. Voting history for Nevada's 1st Congressional DistrictOnce in the heart of Las Vegas, Nevada's 1st Congressional District now encompasses more of Clark County.
Democratic US Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto is running against Republican Adam Laxalt in Nevada. A protégé of the late-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Cortez Masto made history as the first Latina elected to the US Senate when she succeeded Reid in 2017. If Cortez Masto manages to hold on, the GOP's path to 51 seats becomes even more perilous and Democrats' odds of retaining power in the Senate improve. The money raceAccording to OpenSecrets, Cortez Masto has raised $44 million, spent $39.1 million, and has roughly $5.1 million on hand, as of September 30. What experts sayThe race between Cortez Masto and Laxalt is unanimously rated as a "toss-up" by Inside Elections, The Cook Political Report, and Sabato's Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics.
But after the event, Laxalt, a Republican who was once Nevada's top law enforcement official, refused to support the FBI. "We just can't afford to have our top law enforcement agency that politicized." Laxalt made his most recent remarks after a campaign event with Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina who was the U.N. ambassador in the Trump administration. Both Haley and Laxalt lobbed attacks on Cortez Masto and highlighted law enforcement endorsements of Laxalt, who said "95% of police in this state are supporting me." More than 850 people have been charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack, and over 350 have pleaded guilty.
