US Sen. Cruz joins Laxalt in campaign stops around Nevada
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Nevada Senate hopeful Adam Laxalt made campaign stops in northern Nevada ahead of a planned Friday rally in suburban Las Vegas. Laxalt’s campaign says the prominent supporters of former President Donald Trump will talk about energy and affordability issues during the event in Henderson. Laxalt characterizes his bid to unseat Democratic Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto as an effort to flip the Senate majority to Republican. At a stop Thursday in Sparks, Laxalt criticized Cortez Masto’s stance on coronavirus policies and border security. Cortez Masto’s campaign defended her record Friday and accused Laxalt of continuing to deny that Trump lost the 2020 presidential election.
