Nevada Senate race: Laxalt launches Republican run in state that is a top GOP 2022 target
Fox News
Former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt on Tuesday officially declared his candidacy for the Senate in a bid to oust first term Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto in the 2022 midterm elections.
Laxalt accused Democrats of "canceling any who stand in their way" and argued that "we must stand in their way because it’s not just about us. We owe it to our kids and generations to come. I’m ready to fight for what is right. That’s what Americans do. That’s the legacy we have a duty to protect." Nevada is one of the top targets the GOP is aiming to flip from blue to red in next year’s midterms, when the party needs a net gain of just one seat to regain the Senate majority it lost in the 2020 election cycle.More Related News
