What happens in Vegas ... could control Washington
The balance of power in Washington could come down to one or two states. In recent weeks, Republicans have set their sights on Nevada as their Senate candidates in other states, such as New Hampshire and Georgia, have stumbled.
It\u2019s an uphill climb for Republicans, who haven\u2019t won a Senate race in Nevada in a decade. They see inroads with Latino voters and workers in the tourism and hospitality industries who were hurt by Democratic policies during the height of the coronavirus pandemic. But Democrats say they\u2019re holding the line with a brigade of union workers and Nevadans who are frustrated with skyrocketing housing prices.
National politics reporter Hannah Knowles spent some time in Las Vegas tracking the race between the Democratic incumbent, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, and hard-line conservative Adam Laxalt. She joined us on today\u2019s \u201cPost Reports\u201d to tell us about what she learned from talking to voters in the Silver State.
