Democrat Jacky Rosen Wins Nevada Senate Race

Democrat Jacky Rosen beat her Republican opponent Dean Heller in the Nevada Senate race — a swing state with a history of sending moderates to Washington. The race was a key target for Democrats in their uphill battle to take control of the Senate. Heller, a first-term senator and former congressman who has spent three decades in politics, was widely viewed as the GOP's most vulnerable incumbent in the chamber.
