What Nevadans Are Reading After Last Night’s Debate
Last night, Nevadans witnessed a stark contrast between Senator Jacky Rosen and MAGA extremist Sam Brown.
Throughout the debate, Brown showed little interest in talking about policy—reinforcing why the New York Times has reported that Brown is ‘struggling for traction’ with voters across the state. Brown’s performance was so insubstantial even Nevada Republicans said he “whiffed” on this opportunity.
Meanwhile, throughout the debate, Senator Rosen stood out as a bipartisan leader committed to Nevadans, emphasizing how she’s delivered results for hardworking families across the state.
Here’s a recap of the key moments from last night’s debate:
From the New York Times on Brown’s lack of policy details:
[Sam Brown| did not offer a particularly in-depth vision of what he would do differently from Ms. Rosen, and she mostly seemed content to promote her accomplishments without rebutting his claims.
From NBC on Brown’s abortion stance:
But Rosen brought up Brown’s past positions on abortion. Brown, who ran for the Texas Legislature in 2014 but lost, supported a 20-week abortion ban when he was a candidate in that race. “He has a decadelong record of saying that he’s against any exceptions on abortion,” Rosen said of Brown’s changing stance.
“If you don’t believe that he would support a nationwide abortion ban, then I’ve got some oceanfront property to sell you on the Las Vegas Strip,” she quipped.
From Chuck Muth, Nevada Republican, on Brown’s uneven performance:
Sam Brown probably needed to knock it out of the park tonight to change the trajectory of this race. He whiffed. Republicans never blow an opportunity to blow an opportunity.
From CNN on Brown’s comments supporting moving nuclear waste to Yucca Mountain:
Brown asked to clarify stance on Yucca Mountain: Brown insisted that he hasn’t change his position on the Yucca Mountain nuclear depository when asked about his comments back in 2022 where he suggested that it could be “an incredible opportunity” and another source of revenue for Nevada.
From the AP on Rosen’s bipartisan appeal:
Several Republican elected officials have said they intend to break ranks with the GOP and vote for Rosen, including the mayors of Sparks, near Reno, and Ely in rural eastern Nevada.
