Nevada Senate opponents paint each other as extremists in debate lacking fireworks

Associated Press

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada Democratic U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen and Republican challenger Sam Brown have held their only debate of the campaign. While they painted each other as extremists, there were few fireworks in Thursday’s face-off. Rosen is a first-term senator seen as a political consensus-builder. Brown is a retired Army captain who was wounded in war and is endorsed by former President Donald Trump. Brown repeatedly aligned himself with Trump while calling Rosen a political insider and “elitist.” Rosen said she’s proud of her record and cast Brown as an opportunist who has changed positions to try to get elected. Early voting begins Saturday in the presidential battleground state.
