In the 2024 Nevada elections, Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen narrowly won re-election to the U.S. Senate, overcoming Republican Sam Brown by just a few hundred votes. This tight victory underscored her appeal among diverse Nevada voters, including a strong turnout from urban areas like Las Vegas, where Rosen’s platform on issues like healthcare, workers’ rights, and abortion rights resonated widely. Rosen’s re-election was a boost for Nevada Democrats, particularly as they faced challenges in other parts of the state.

His endorsement of Brown helped energize Republican voter turnout, reinforcing Nevada’s role as a crucial battleground in 2024
