Laxalt, the top candidate in Nevada's Senate GOP primary, looks ahead to challenging Cortez Masto
CNN
Even with the clock still ticking down to Tuesday's Nevada primary, Republican Senate candidate Adam Laxalt has already set his sights on November -- and his would-be opponent, Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto.
"She's the most vulnerable senator in America," Laxalt told a group of supporters in Summerlin, a suburban neighborhood of Las Vegas on Saturday. "It's our time to flip Nevada and save our country."
In a state that President Joe Biden won by 2 points in 2020, Laxalt's campaign sees an opportunity to reverse the advances Democrats have made in this battleground state, making the closing argument about the balance of national power. And instead of focusing on lies about the 2020 election -- the former state attorney general had filed lawsuits attempting to overturn Nevada's results -- he has, in the final days, instead focused on the economic issues weighing down vulnerable Democrats this midterm cycle: inflation, energy and gas prices.
