Why AP called Nevada Senate race for Catherine Cortez Masto
Why AP called Nevada Senate race for Catherine Cortez Masto
By Mike Catalini, Associated Press, Nov. 12, 2022
The Associated Press called the Nevada Senate race for Democrat Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto on Saturday after a batch of votes from the Las Vegas area gave her a 5,000-vote lead that the AP determined she would not relinquish.
The win for Cortez Masto also meant Democrats would keep control of the Senate.
The AP concluded Cortez Masto’s lead would carry even if Republican Adam Laxalt made gains in rural Nevada counties that are still counting votes.
Her victory allows the Democrats to retain control the Senate with at least 50 seats because of Vice President Kamala Harris’ tiebreaking vote even without a victory in the Georgia runoff in December.

Congratulations to Sen. Cortez Masto! And to all of us.
Now, let's re-elect Senator Warnock for the icing on the cake.

Al Franken talked to UniteHere's president D. Taylor on the August 21 episode of his podcast (as well as pollster John Anzalone) about the then-upcoming midterms. Taylor described the massive canvassing and GOTV efforts of the union in Nevada. A very impressive bunch.
