Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D) leads her challenger by 7 points in the closely watched Nevada Senate race, according to a new Suffolk University-Reno Gazette-Journal poll.

Forty-five percent of respondents indicated support for Cortez Masto, compared to 38 percent support for former state Attorney General Adam Laxalt (R). Twelve percent said they were undecided, while 3 percent said they would support none of the polled candidates.

The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the Nevada contest as one of four toss-up races that could determine which party will control the Senate beginning next year.

Democrats are facing historical and political headwinds going into this year’s midterm elections. But many in the party are hoping a series of recent victories can counter voter frustration about issues such as inflation and avoid a shellacking in November that leads to unified GOP control of Congress.

Trump-Backed Adam Laxalt's Lengthy List of Financial Scandals

Laxalt, who served as the state's attorney general from 2015 to 2019 and who unsuccessfully ran for governor in 2018, was a co-chairman of Trump's 2020 reelection campaign.

During his time in office, Laxalt faced allegations of pressuring officials, using his position as attorney general to fend off investigators, and accepting illegal campaign contributions from Lev Parnas—who was tried and ultimately convicted in October 2021 of federal campaign finance crimes. On June 29, Parnas was sentenced to 20 months in prison.

Politico reported that during Parnas' trial, Laxalt—who received two $5,000 donations from co-defendant Igor Fruman that had allegedly been arranged by Parnas—testified that he first met Parnas at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., in 2018 in the company of Rudy Guiliani, one of the former president's attorneys.

After reportedly "really bombarding" Parnas for donations, according to Politico, Laxalt testified that legal counsel suggested his campaign return the $10,000, and the money was returned to the Treasury. However, Parnas' attorney, Joseph Bondy, reportedly said Laxalt continually pushed Parnas for cash even though he thought of him in a "clownish" manner—adding that Laxalt told the FBI that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was the individual who connected Laxalt and Parnas originally.

In 2018, the Reno Gazette-Journal reported that then-Attorney General Laxalt allegedly kept fraud investigators at bay from some of his largest financial backers in relation to a large investigation into ExxonMobil and the effects of climate change.

Billionaires Charles and David Koch, who reportedly spent $2.5 million to support Laxalt's run for governor, were also involved via a subpoena issued to ExxonMobil that named several Koch-backed organizations, the Gazette-Journal added...

The allegations as they related to the Koch brothers were never directly addressed.

Bonus tie to DeSatan!

5. I live in Las Vegas.

Her ads are on a LOT, I don't recall seeing any for him at all. Nevada may be one of the markets the rethugs had to pull because they're broke. Her ads a generally positive, but there's an equal amount that rake his ass over the coals regarding his record. So far, they haven't mentioned the Lev Parnas/Igor Fruman issue, or the Koch Bros. connection...they're probably saving that shit for October.

The brain dead MAGAts will vote for him, but they would vote for a dead cat if it had an "R" after it's name. I feel good about holding this seat. Laxalt's record speaks for itself, it's awful, and everyone in the state knows it. In fact, a few years back, he called Roe vs. Wade "a joke", and that commercial is getting pretty heavy rotation, so that should REALLY help him!

3. 12 percent still undecided? It can't be that hard to figure out who you support
