During the third night of the Democratic National Convention, Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada delivered a speech praising Kamala Harris as a 'strong leader' who is committed to fighting for families and freedoms. This endorsement highlighted the importance of Harris in the upcoming presidential election.
Throughout the convention's last two days, Democrats have emphasized the competitiveness of the presidential race and urged voters to participate in the democratic process by casting their votes.
Cortez Masto shared her own experience from the 2022 Senate race, where she was initially considered one of the most vulnerable Democrats. Despite facing challenges, she managed to secure victory with a margin of less than 8,000 votes. This anecdote served as a reminder of the significance of every vote in determining the outcome of an election.
The senator also acknowledged the crucial role played by Nevada voters in helping the Democratic Party secure a Senate majority in 2022. She expressed confidence that Nevada voters could once again make a significant impact in the upcoming election, emphasizing the potential for their collective voice to shape the political landscape.
