Incumbent Dem Jacky Rosen holds onto Senate seat in battleground Nevada
Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., has been re-elected to the Senate in Nevada, according to Friday night’s race call by the Associated Press.
The Democrat senator successfully fended off a challenge from veteran Sam Brown, a Republican endorsed by President-elect Donald Trump.
Rosen was first elected to the Senate in 2018 and this was her first re-election.
Prior to the election, Fox News Power Rankings in September considered the November Senate match to be one of two “toss-ups,” alongside Ohio.

A top political handicapper, the Cook Political Report, had similarly rated it a “toss up” earlier in the year but more recently shifted the race back to “Lean Democrat.”
Cook cited polling in the summer months that showed Rosen outpacing Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris by a significant margin.
Also in the category were Senate races in Arizona and Pennsylvania.

Nevada was a critical swing state for elections down-ballot, including the presidential and Senate races. While the Nevada Senate battle wasn’t thought of as necessary for Republicans to gain the majority in the upper chamber, it was being eyed to expand a likely majority in the new Congress.
There were also several close House races in the state, which were similarly expected to determine which party would lead the lower chamber.

Rosen handily won the Democrat nomination for Senate earlier in the year, defeating both Troy Walker and Mike Schaefer, who were not prominent challengers.
Brown faced a much more difficult primary race, with former U.S. Ambassador to Iceland Jeffrey Gunter taking him on for the GOP nod.
Gunter spent significant money on attack ads against Brown, depicting him as a tool of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
The primary was made more uncertain by President-elect Donald Trump’s decision not to weigh in until the last minute.
Trump ultimately threw his support behind Brown at a rally in Nevada ahead of the primary, allowing him to win the election by a healthy margin.
The Trump-backed Senate candidate failed to close the polling gap with Rosen in the same fashion that other Republican candidates across the country had with their incumbent opponents.

San Mateo supervisor urges CDC to step up protections amid hantavirus outbreak
(KRON)– San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa is asking the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to step up protections at ports and Airports across the country, including San Francisco International Airport (SFO), after the recent hantavirus outbreak.
The outbreak began aboard a cruise ship in May 2026.
The ship outbreak has reached 12 cases, nine of which have been confirmed. So far, three people have died.
In California, five people, including one Santa Clara County resident, are being monitored for possible exposure. Another Bay Area resident is being monitored separately in Nebraska.
In the U.S., the CDC is monitoring 41 people for Hantavirus. That includes an additional 16 who were not aboard the cruise ship where the outbreak began, but were exposed on an April flight from Johannesburg with a woman who was infected on the ship and later died.
Canepa is fighting for concrete policies that would protect Californians, specifically calling out the CDC to create a clear process when outbreaks, similar to the recent hantavirus outbreak, begin.
Along with the CDC, the World Health Organization is emphasizing that the overall risk to the public remains low. So far, there’s been no evidence of ongoing transmission.
