The&nbsp;<em>Associated Press&nbsp;<\/em>called the race for Rosen on Saturday Nov. 9 at 12:15 a.m. With 96% of the votes counted, Rosen scored 47.8% of the vote, to Brown&rsquo;s 46.4%. <\/p>\n<p>Brown consistently trailed Rosen in polling and fundraising throughout the cycle. But in their sole debate matchup, he attempted to brandish the Democratic lawmaker as an &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/3194175\/sam-brown-jabs-elitist-jacky-rosen-nevada-senate-debate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">elitist<\/a>.&rdquo; The gambit failed to help unseat Rosen.<\/p>\n<p>In the race&rsquo;s final days, the Senate Leadership Fund, a GOP super PAC, poured $6.2 million in TV, radio, and digital ad spending to boost Brown&rsquo;s campaign, the first time it invested in the race. The ads began airing on Oct. 26, less than two weeks before the election. <\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensecrets.org\/races\/summary?cycle=2024&amp;id=NVS1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Open Secrets<\/a>, Rosen raised more than $43 million during her reelection bid and had $4.8 million cash on hand at the end of September, while Brown raised nearly $18 million and had $3.8 million cash on hand in the same period.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats hold a slim majority of the Senate, but Republicans snatched back control. The GOP flipped retiring Sen. Joe Manchin&rsquo;s (I-WV) seat, and Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) lost their reelection bids. <\/p>\n<p>Rosen was one of the most vulnerable senators this cycle, skipping her party&rsquo;s national convention over the summer to campaign in her state. Fellow Nevadan Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) narrowly won her reelection bid during the 2022 midterm elections against Republican challenger Adam Laxalt. <\/p>\n<p>The Democratic lawmaker focused much of her reelection bid emphasizing her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/magazine-washington-briefing\/2989047\/jacky-rosen-emphasizes-bipartisan-credentials-as-gop-aims-to-flip-her-seat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">bipartisan chops<\/a> as she sought to win over independent voters in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Nevada&rsquo;s status as a battleground state saw multiple visits from Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, who hoped to turn out voters for their presidential races and for the down ballot races. When the race for Senate was called, the presidential results were also deciding, giving the state to Trump with 50.7% of the vote. That brings his total electoral college count to 301. Arizona is still undecided by the AP, but Trump is up with 82% of the votes counted. <\/p>\n<p>Rosen first won the Senate seat after defeating former GOP Sen. Dean Heller during the midterm elections in 2018, when she represented the Silver State&rsquo;s 3rd Congressional District in the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n<p>Brown was an Army veteran who served during the Afghanistan war, where he sustained extensive burns to his body due to an improvised explosive device. He first ran for the Nevada Senate seat in 2022 but lost the GOP primary before winning during the 2024 cycle.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>This is a breaking story and will be updated.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1839303\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1839303\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jacky Rosen wins Nevada Senate race against Sam Brown<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2658,"featured_media":2366410,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/MixCollage-12-Jun-2024-09-41-AM-8733-1024x591.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[43259,44668,42255],"class_list":["post-2366409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-jacky-rosen","tag-nevada-senate","tag-sam-brown"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/MixCollage-12-Jun-2024-09-41-AM-8733-1024x591.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2366409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2658"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2366409"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2366409\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2366413,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2366409\/revisions\/2366413"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2366410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2366409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2366409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2366409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
