Nevada Senator Jacky Rosen, a Democrat seeking re-election in November, is facing growing scrutiny for her unwavering support of the Biden-Harris administration. Republican groups are criticizing her for her votes on key issues such as inflation and immigration, arguing that her support for the administration’s policies has negatively impacted Nevada families.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) has launched a multi-million dollar ad campaign targeting Rosen, highlighting her voting record and linking it to the economic woes facing Nevada residents. The ads, titled “Failed,” accuse Rosen of “rubber-stamping” the Biden-Harris agenda, pointing to issues like high inflation and the influx of illegal immigrants. The NRSC is spending $100 million on ads nationwide as part of its effort to regain control of the Senate.
Rosen’s campaign maintains that she is a bipartisan and effective senator, putting Nevada’s interests ahead of partisan politics. They argue that her Republican opponent, retired Army Captain Sam Brown, prioritizes extremist views that would harm Nevadans.
The race is considered a toss-up, with voters expressing growing concern over the economy and border security. A recent Fox News Poll found that nearly half of Nevada residents believe they are falling behind financially, with only 13% feeling they are getting ahead. Additionally, border security and immigration have emerged as top “deal-breaker issues” for voters, according to another Fox News Poll.
Rosen voted in favor of the Biden-Harris Inflation Reduction Act, which has been criticized by Republicans for not doing enough to address high prices. While Rosen’s campaign has defended her record, the criticism from the NRSC and the state of the economy in Nevada make this a tight race with significant national implications.
