NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. — What happens here certainly will not stay here, at least when it comes to the outcome of key congressional elections in Nevada.
The Silver State is of particular interest because it features a toss-up race for the Senate between Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and Republican Adam Laxalt, a former state attorney general. Three of the state’s four House seats also could, in a Republican wave election, move from the Democrats to the Republicans. (The fourth seat, in northern Nevada, is safely Republican.)
As in other races around the country on one of the campaign’s final weekends, Republicans were boasting of a red wave building and blaming economic woes on President Joe Biden and his allies on Capitol Hill. Democrats were counting on voters remembering what they did to help the country get through the worst of the pandemic.
