This enigmatic state may be the key to Senate control
< < Go Back
Nevada might matter less for its six electoral votes, which Donald Trump has narrowly lost twice, than for its Senate choice, which could decide control of that chamber. It is one of five swing states (including Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania) with more-or-less competitive Senate contests. The incumbent, Democrat Jacky Rosen, 67, is seeking a second term. Her Republican opponent is Sam Brown, 40, a retired Army captain severely scarred by third-degree burns over a third of his body, including his face, from an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan. Their race epitomizes the uncertainties created by Joe Biden’s withdrawal, and the difficulty of taking Nevada’s political temperature.
