Margin of victory: +0.8%

In the 2022 Senate race for NV Senate seat, Catherine Cortez Masto (D) won with 48.8% of the vote, defeating Adam Paul Laxalt (R) who received 48.0%. 4 additional candidates split the remaining vote. The 0.8-point margin made this one of the more competitive races of the cycle.

This was an open-seat race with no incumbent running — Jacky Rosen (D) previously held the seat. Open seats typically attract stronger candidates and heavier spending from both parties. As a Democrat, Catherine Cortez Masto won despite the historical midterm penalty against the president's party (Democrat Biden was in office). Given the narrow margin, this seat is likely to remain competitive and attract heavy investment in the next cycle.
