Former Nevada Attorney Adam Laxalt is vying to be the 51st Republican Senator should he flip the U.S. Senate seat this November.
If Laxalt clinches the Republican nomination, he’ll face incumbent Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), a vulnerable Democrat, in the general election. As of this writing, Cook Political Report rates the Nevada Senate race as a “Toss-Up.”
The odds are greatly in his favor given the endorsements he’s raked in and his campaign’s sizable war chest.
He has secured endorsements from former President Donald Trump, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO), Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR), former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL).
According to newly-released fundraising numbers, his campaign hauled in an impressive $1.35 million in Q4 2021. And a potential Laxalt-Cortez Masto match-up already points to a tight contest. With more Nevada voters switching their party registration from Democrat to Republican, Laxalt, should he become the GOP nominee, seems well-positioned to win.CARTOONS | AF BRANCOVIEW CARTOON
I recently spoke to Mr. Laxalt at the 44th annual Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT Show) in Las Vegas, Nevada, to discuss gun rights, energy, and hunting.
