Nevada incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto survived a challenge, defeating Republican Adam Laxalt and helping Democrats hold onto U.S. Senate, according to the Associated Press call of the race.
Nevada was one of Republicans’ top targets as they tried to break the Senate’s 50-50 split, and Cortez Masto’s reelection was a toss-up coming into the election. She was running neck and neck with Laxalt, Nevada’s former attorney general who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
Laxalt tried to pull voters in by promising to combat inflation, which he attributed to poor decision-making by Cortez Masto and President Biden.
