The Democrats will retain control of the Senate, no matter how next month's Georgia runoff plays out, by virtue of Vice President Kamala Harris' tiebreaking vote. 9News
With Democratic Senator Mark Kelly's victory in Arizona on Friday, Democrats now hold a 50-49 edge in the Senate.
Nevada's vote count took several days partly because of the mail voting system created by the state Legislature in 2020 that requires counties to accept ballots postmarked by Election Day if they arrive up to four days later. Laxalt had an early lead that dwindled after late-counted ballots came in from the state's population centres in Las Vegas and Reno.
Former President Donald Trump, who twice lost Nevada in his White House runs, came to the state twice to rally for Laxalt and other Republican candidates.
