Background
A typical swing state, Nevada is considered to be a purple state at the federal level, especially since in the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden carried Nevada by about 2 percentage points. Both parties have seen success in the state in recent years. Democrats control both U.S. Senate seats and all but one U.S. Representative in its congressional delegation, while Republicans won the governorship in 2022.[1][2][3]
Rosen was first elected in 2018, defeating then-incumbent senator Dean Heller.[4]
This race is considered to be competitive given the state's nearly even partisan lean, however, most analysts consider Rosen to be a slight favorite to win reelection.[5]
