It was still unclear which party would control the House of Representatives as counting continued in razor-tight races in California and a smattering of other states.<\/p>\n<p>Cortez Masto, the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/c1d4c4fd206445a49aad023925fe5c08\" data-ylk=\"slk:first Latina in the Senate\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">first Latina in the Senate<\/a>, was considered the most vulnerable Democratic senator in the midterm elections, and the Republican Party had high hopes of flipping the seat. But despite an influx of spending on attack ads from national GOP groups, Cortez Masto managed to secure her reelection bid.<\/p>\n<p>Nevada\u2019s vote count <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/2022-midterm-elections-nevada-ballot-counting-896bf9df5d24efbdfeef92f1c10799f0\" data-ylk=\"slk:took several days\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">took several days<\/a> partly because of the mail voting system created by the state Legislature in 2020 that requires counties to accept ballots postmarked by Election Day if they arrive up to four days later. Laxalt had an early lead that dwindled after late-counted ballots came in from the state\u2019s population centers in Las Vegas and Reno.<\/p>\n<p>Cortez Masto, the state\u2019s former two-term attorney <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>, focused her Senate campaign on the increasing threat to abortion access nationwide and worked to court the state\u2019s Spanish-speaking residents and hourly wage earners, pointing out her support of a permanent pathway to citizenship for \u201cDreamers\u201d and regularly visiting union halls and workers\u2019 groups.<\/p>\n<p>Her fundraising far outpaced Laxalt\u2019s. She spent nearly $47 million and had more than $6 million in cash on hand through mid-October, according to OpenSecrets. Laxalt spent nearly $13 million and had about $3 million remaining during the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Laxalt, a former Nevada attorney general himself who unsuccessfully ran for governor in 2018, focused on rising inflation and a struggling economy for much of his campaign, attempting to tie voters\u2019 financial woes to policies advanced by Democrats in Congress and Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Former President Donald Trump, who twice lost Nevada in his White House runs, came to the state twice to rally for Laxalt and other Republican candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats had an uphill battle given the nation\u2019s turbulent economy, and Nevada exemplified the party\u2019s challenges. The state is one of the most diverse in the nation, and its largely working class population often lives paycheck to paycheck and has struggled with both inflation and the aftershocks of the shutdown of Las Vegas\u2019 tourist-based economy during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Roughly three-fourths of Nevada voters said the country is headed in the wrong direction, and about 5 in 10 called the economy the most important issue facing the country, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of 2,100 of the state\u2019s voters.<\/p>\n<p>Voters viewed the economy negatively, with VoteCast finding nearly 8 in 10 saying economic conditions are either not so good or poor. Only about 2 in 10 called the economy excellent or good. And about a third of voters said their families are falling behind financially.<\/p>\n<p>But that didn\u2019t necessarily translate into anger at President Joe Biden or his party. About half considered inflation the most important issue facing the U.S., but they were evenly split over whether they think higher prices are due to Biden\u2019s policies or factors outside his control.<\/p>\n<p>Nevada is also a famously live-and-let-live state, and Cortez Masto\u2019s message on preserving abortion rights resonated. According to VoteCast, 7 in 10 wanted the procedure kept legal in all or most cases.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>Associated Press writer Scott Sonner in Las Vegas contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>Follow the AP\u2019s coverage of the 2022 midterm elections at https:\/\/ap<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>.com\/hub\/2022-midterm-elections.
