Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto “very confident” Democrats will “organize our way to victory” in battleground Nevada
Two days before Election Day, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, a Nevada Democrat, said she’s “very confident” Democrats will win in her battleground state.
“I am optimistic that we are going to win, not only for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, but for Jacky Rosen in this state,” she said on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.”
Around half of Nevada’s active registered voters have cast ballots, with Republicans leading statewide, spurring anxiety among Democrats heading into Election Day. Nevada is also the only state where Republicans flipped the governor’s mansion in 2022, although Cortez Masto hung onto her seat by less than 8,000 votes in that same election. But Cortez Masto said she’s “optimistic” about Harris’ chances in the Silver State, citing what she has seen as an impressive ground game and canvassing efforts from Democrats.
garbage,” saying that he had clarified the remarks as being about a comedian’s rhetoric at a Trump rally. And she argued that Harris, whom she worked with when they were both state attorneys general, has “made it very clear, moving forward, that she wants to represent everyone.”
“No matter whether you voted for her or not, and whoever you vote for, you shouldn’t be criticized for that,” Cortez Masto added.
Sen. Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican who also appeared on “Face the Nation” on Sunday, downplayed Trump’s connection to the comedian’s remarks, while arguing that “what’s more relevant” is Mr. Biden’s comment, which he argued is in line with “what most people in the Democratic Party and hierarchy believe.”
“If you’re so confident about victory, the way the Harris people say they are, then why would you be out there attacking not Donald Trump — attacking anyone who is thinking about voting for him,” Rubio said. “That doesn’t seem to be like the actions of a confident campaign. It seems to me like the actions of a scared one.”
