Nevada Democrats Hold Election Night Event In Las Vegas LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - NOVEMBER 08: U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and Nevada Gov.
Steve Sisolak hold their hands up after giving remarks at an election night party hosted by Nevada Democratic Victory at The Encore on November 08, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto is facing Republican challenger Adam Laxalt, while Gov. Steve Sisolak is facing Republican Joe Lombardo. 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.
But Cortez Masto’s crucial victory in Nevada now gives Democrats 50 Senate seats — regardless of what happens in Georgia. In a 50-50 Senate, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris casts the tie-breaking vote. 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.
