Democratic incumbent Sen. Jacky Rosen won reelection early Saturday morning after The Associated Press declared she had beat Republican Sam Brown in a race that turned on Rosen’s strong performance in the state’s two largest counties — Clark and Washoe.
The Associated Press has called the presidential race in the state of Nevada for President-elect Trump, awarding him six more electoral votes over Vice President Harris.
Ms. Rosen, the low-key incumbent, hung on, but the race was closer than expected amid President-elect Donald J. Trump’s strength.
Former President Donald Trump has won Nevada’s six electoral votes, according to a race call from the Associated Press. This is the first time in 20 years that Nevada has elected a Republican in a presidential election.
