Incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto has defeated Republican challenger Adam Laxalt in Nevada by the slimmest of margins, ensuring that Democrats will keep control of the U.S. Senate.
Along with neighboring Arizona, Nevada was one of two battleground states where the Senate result remained up in the air long after Election Day as officials tallied every last batch of ballots to determine the winner.
Holding the Senate despite this year’s high inflation — and a deep-seated historical pattern of intense midterm backlash against the president’s party — ranks as the one of the most surprising and consequential results of an election in which. It also makes Joe Biden the first Democratic president since John F. Kennedy in 1962 not only to keep control of the Senate but possibly even expand his majority there.
With more than 95% of votes counted, the Associated Press called the race for Cortez Masto late Saturday. Her margin of victory was approximately half a percentage point, making Nevada 2022’s closest Senate contest.When legendary Nevada Sen. Harry Reid announced his retirement in 2015, he handpicked Cortez Masto — the state’s former attorney general — as his successor. She won Reid’s old seat the following year by 2.5 percentage points, becoming the first Latina senator in U.S. history.
