Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen has won re-election in Nevada, NBC News projects, defeating Republican Sam Brown and holding on to an important seat for her party in a swing state.
Although the margins are often close, Republicans haven’t won a Senate race in Nevada since 2012.
Democrats centered their attacks against Brown on abortion, even though he said he would not support a federal ban.
His wife, Amy, also revealed in an interview with NBC News that she had an abortion before meeting Brown.
In addition to abortion rights, Rosen highlighted combating gun violence, while Brown leaned in on tougher immigration laws and supporting police.
