The Nevada Senate Race

[gab13by13]

Surprised nothing here, so I Googled it. The Google machine said that Cortez Masto is only 862 votes behind with 95% precincts reporting.

I went to bed but it appears that the same day drop off ballots are falling for Masto. Is this not fantastic news? Are there more rural precincts to report? I mean IMO just from Googling, doesn't this look good for Masto?

Also, if she wins won't this dry up money for Walker?

1. From my understanding, there are about 40-50k from Clark and Washoe (lean blue)

and under 10k votes from rural. She would have taken the lead if the Washoe votes yesterday didn't fall below to about 55/45 (it was 60+ for the Washoe batch before that). She should easily win when votes are all counted by end of today.

2. No the money won't be dried up for Walker .....

GQP still want a 50/50 in the Senate, although the Democrats will have control since VP Harris is the tie breaker.

6. Are you talking big donor money?

I doubt that small donors will give a lot to finish 2nd place.

9. Yes, and trump very much wants a walker victory, because he thinks it will demonstrate his

viability

Also, we can’t assume anything about Nevada until all the votes are counted, and if we should be so fortunate to win the Senate race in Nevada, it is even more important to do everything we can to see Warnock wins. These are 6 year terms, and not only does it help with our agenda for the next two years, but also means that those seats stay in our control in 2024

13. Trump may want Walker to win

but I am hearing that Trump's big donors are drying up. Trump would never put his own money for someone else.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Trump is a proven loser, big donors are not going to pump money to Walker to bolster Trump's ego.

[JohnSJ]

14. Sure, but trump will throw his money that he has received from the idiots who donated to him

11. Whatever about the money/dark money, GOP voter turnout may be

reduced on the back of them having already lost the Senate. Democrats have already shown the ability to manage a 50-50 Senate.

3. Today is the last day for the count, I believe.

When Kornacki accidentally blurted out, no further updates until late tomorrow, even though 1 county gave 50% of what it was going to, I hit the hay.

Today should be a great day again!

22. I think Saturday is the last day to receive mail-in ballots...

Counting continues, and there are some provisionals and some "cured" ballots to count that could take it into next week.

But if this next batch released today go the way things have been, Ms Mastro will be leading by the end of today (Saturday).

4. I'm sitting on the edge of my seat thinking it looks good!

If she wins, I think there will be less enthusiasm in the Walker corner.

5. Control of the Senate won't hinge on it

And with Trump's ranting, raving, and further dividing the party, his hand-picked candidate will have a difficult time pulling it off. Shades of Trump's GA "fiasco" of two years ago.

10. Oh I agree,

but this way I won't have to steal one of my wife's Xanax. I like it when our team has the ball and the other team has no time outs with 1 minute left and we are in victory formation.

[peacebuzzard]

20. it takes superstar to pull it off and the repugs have none.

they are a lousy team!

19. Finally, the emperor has no clothes.

It's been a long lonely time...

7. This am, msnbc scroll: new tally 2:30 eastern today

Holding my breath.

[honest.abe]

8. Yep, looks good for CCM.

We should get the final numbers tonight. I think its a done deal.

[gab13by13]

12. I'm not even going to mention a recount.

[fightforfreedom]

15. We may know by tonight.

I think her chances are very good. I believe most of the remaining votes are from a Democrat leaning district. One good vote drop could end it. Just like Arizona.

16. Walker

The Republicans might have come out for Walker if it meant control of the Senate. If CCM wins Nevada that motivation won’t be there.
They know he’s a loser, and I don’t see them throwing more money at a loser that doesn’t change the outcome.

[onenote]

17. Don't count on that.

First, if we've captured the Senate with Nevada, we may face our own issues in motivating donors and turnout in Georgia. And the Republicans need to score a victory and will push very hard to unseat Warnock. I think the impact of our winning Nevada may be essentially a wash. It will come down, just as it did in 2020, to turning out the vote for the run off.

21. Also, if she wins won't this dry up money for Walker?

Heavens no. Walker has some deeeeeep, dark, dirty money billionaire pockets backing him hidden away. He won't have a problem getting tons of dirty money.

23. "Surprised nothing here"

There have been dozens of in real time posts. Nothing recent because new numbers won't be posted for several hours.
