Catherine Cortez Masto acknowledged and then ran away from an individual who asked her whether she would campaign with President Joe Biden, video obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller shows.<\/p>\n<p>Cortez Masto, considered one of the most vulnerable Senate Democrats, is leading Republican challenger Adam Laxalt by only 1.5 points in the <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/polls\/senate\/2022\/nevada\/\">FiveThirtyEight<\/a> tracker. Biden held a 30% approval <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/joe-biden-approval-rating-slumps-nevada-crucial-senate-race-1721231\">rating<\/a> in the state in a poll released July 1, and has struggled extensively with Latino voters, who make up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nevadacurrent.com\/blog\/nearly-1-in-5-midterm-voters-in-nv-will-be-latino-report-says\/\">20%<\/a> of the Nevada electorate.<\/p>\n<p>Cortez Masto held a campaign event Aug. 12 at the grand opening of a Tacos El Gordo franchise in Las Vegas. After the event, an attendee approached her, asking if Cortez Masto would campaign with Biden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSen. Masto, will you campaign with Biden this fall?\u201d the attendee asks as Cortez Masto turns around, looks at her, and nods. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/10\/04\/catherine-cortez-masto-adam-laxalt-poll-nevada\/\">(RELATED: POLL: Democratic Nevada Sen.

Cortez Masto skipped an Aug. 10 abortion access event with Vice President Kamala Harris, with her campaign <a href=\"https:\/\/lasvegassun.com\/news\/2022\/aug\/11\/vp-harris-in-las-vegas-visit-hears-from-lawmakers\/\">claiming<\/a> that she would be unable to attend since the appearance was not campaign-related. Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford met with Harris and visited the MGM Grand casino kitchen with the vice president.<\/p>\n<p>Many Democrats running in swing states have avoided attending events with Biden and Harris. Rep. Tim Ryan, the Democratic nominee in Ohio\u2019s Senate race, skipped the president\u2019s early July visit to Cleveland. His campaign <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/07\/06\/top-ohio-democratic-candidates-tim-ryan-nan-whaley-skip-biden-cleveland-event\/\">claimed<\/a> that Ryan had a scheduling conflict, and the ten-term representative has <a href=\"https:\/\/video.foxnews.com\/v\/6310075975112#sp=show-clips\">declined<\/a> to endorse Biden\u2019s presumed 2024 re-election campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams skipped a January <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/01\/11\/biden-filibuster-georgia-voting-rights\/\">event<\/a> at Clark Atlanta University in which Biden called on senators to eliminate the filibuster and pass legislation nationalizing election laws. Like Ryan, Abrams <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/state-watch\/589126-stacy-abrams-to-skip-bidens-voting-rights-speech-in-georgia-due-to\/\">claimed<\/a> to have a scheduling conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Cortez Masto has highlighted her relationship with the Biden family in the past. Then-Vice President Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OFkY2c2K6BI\">campaigned<\/a> for Cortez Masto during her successful first election. She <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/05\/28\/politics\/catherine-cortez-masto-joe-biden\/index.html\">described<\/a> the late Beau Biden as \u201ca dear friend\u201d in Biden 2020 campaign material.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Embattled Democratic Nevada Sen.
