Former President Barack Obama campaigned in Nevada Tuesday night to try to shore up support for Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, who is widely viewed as the most vulnerable Democrat in the US Senate, urging Nevadans to cast their ballots for her as well as the state’s other Democratic candidates.
“I’m here to tell you, Nevada, that tuning out is not an option. Moping and feeling cynical is not an option. The only way to make this economy fair is if we – all of us – fight for it,” Obama said.
In this economic climate, Cortez Masto’s race against former state Attorney General Adam Laxalt is one of the GOP’s best opportunities to pick up a Democratic seat and gain control of the chamber. Republicans need a net gain of just one seat to flip the evenly divided legislative body, where Vice President Kamala Harris has the tie-breaking vote. The economy has also created headwinds for Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak and three vulnerable Democratic House members.
