After an intensely watched campaign, Democratic US Senator Jacky Rosen was announced the victor of Nevada Senate Race against her Republican challenger Sam Brown and secured her place for another term in office late Friday evening following a close count. The announcement concluded a nailbiting count.
Rosen was victorious with an approximate lead of 20,571 votes over Brown – approximately 1.4% – which was confirmed when Clark County officials counted all mail-in ballots, postmarked by Election Day to qualify as eligible ballots.
A Second Term for Rosen
Rosen’s win marks her second term in the Senate and adds another experience-building chapter in her political journey, beginning with her election to the House of Representatives in 2016 and then her initial Senate win in 2018. Sam Brown is an ex-army officer with support from President-elect Trump.
The Tight Race
Rosen and Brown initially appeared too close to call, with both candidates seemingly neck and neck as the election results began to unfold post-Election Day. By Thursday night however, it had become evident that Rosen held a slight lead and could potentially claim victory amid ongoing ballot counts of outstanding ballots.
The 2016 election saw its share of challenges, such as an overwhelming number of mail-in ballots with questionable signatures that required voters to meet an additional deadline before having their signature verified and validated, providing yet another layer of suspenseful contestation.
Nevada Senate Race Republicans Strive to Increase Majority (53-46 Democrats, including Arizona Senate Seat). Despite these efforts, current Senate composition stands at 53 Republicans to 46 Democrats with Arizona seat still up for election (election results unofficial as of April 4).
At present, Arizona remains undecided, with Republican candidate Kari Lake trailing Democrat Ruben Gallego by 1.1% or 32,779 votes; thus making an impactful statement about power dynamics within the Senate.
