10:50 p.m. | Laxalt leaps to early lead over Brown in closely watched GOP Senate primary race
Republican Adam Laxalt appears will compete for one of the nation’s most prized U.S. Senate seats after amassing a significant early advantage over primary election challenger and retired U.S. Army Captain Sam Brown.
Laxalt — the GOP establishment’s pick to face Democratic U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto in November — was declared the race’s unofficial winner shortly after amassing a 12-percentage point edge over Brown in preliminary results released late Tuesday.
Those returns signal the start of a campaign bounce back for the one-term former Nevada attorney general, who all but disappeared from the political stage following a failed 2018 bid for the governor’s mansion.

8:01 p.m. | Lombardo kicks off election night party near Las Vegas Strip
Republican gubernatorial front-runner Joe Lombardo’s election night party kicked off Tuesday evening at an Italian restaurant near the Strip as polls in Clark County closed. Lombardo, the Clark County sheriff since 2015, is running in a crowded field of candidates for a shot to face Gov. Steve Sisolak in November’s election.
About an hour after polls closed, former Nevada Lt. Gov. Mark Hutchison, standing alongside the sheriff, stepped on stage to address Lombardo’s supporters.
