Sen. Jacky Rosen during October's Nevada Day Parade.
Late Friday night, the national media reported that Democrat Jacky Rosen was going to defeat Sam Brown for the U.S. Senate race. Rosen currently holds an 18,000 vote lead through Friday night.
“Thank you, Nevada! I’m honored and grateful to continue serving as your United States Senator,” Rosen said Friday on the social platform X.
Brown, a retired Army captain who moved to Nevada from Texas in 2018, conceded defeat.
“Thank you, Nevada. Serving as your nominee has been the honor of a lifetime, and though the outcome is not what we hoped, I am deeply moved by the trust, dedication, and hope you’ve shown throughout this journey. Together, we set a new standard for what it means to stand for Nevada, united in a vision of strength, truth, resilience, and unwavering belief in a brighter future,” Brown said in a statement. “With President Trump leading, we stand on the brink of an era defined by renewed opportunity, unity, and a firm commitment to the America First principles that uplift everyone. This is not a conclusion, but the beginning of a renewed fight for our values and our nation’s greatness. Thank you for believing in this vision for Nevada and for America. I’ve got you, always.”
Nevada and its six electoral votes were also called for Trump early Saturday. President-elect Trump currently holds a 46,000 vote lead over Vice President Kamala Harris.
"Congratulations to Donald J. Trump and Senator JD Vance on their victory. After four years under Kamala Harris, Silver State voters are eager for President Trump to fix what Kamala Harris broke. Starting on Day 1, President Trump and Vice President JD Vance will help to ease costs, secure the border — and Make America Great Again,” said Halee Dobbins, Team Trump Nevada Communications Director in a statement.
