Adam Laxalt Wins GOP Senate Primary In Nevada, Will Challenge Democrat Incumbent Catherine Cortez Masto

Former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt on Tuesday won the GOP nomination to face incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D) for U.S. Senate.

Laxalt, who former President Donald Trump endorsed last year, beat retired Army captain and purple heart recipient Sam Brown for the nomination. Laxalt’s opponent in the general, Cortez Masto, is one of the most vulnerable Democrats in 2022 as Republicans seek to regain control of the U.S. Senate.
