(Derek Draplin<\/em>) \u2013 U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen\u2019s seat representing Nevada is now rated as a \u201ctoss up\u201d race, according to The Cook Political Report.<\/p>\n

Rosen became senator in 2019 after defeating incumbent Sen. Dean Heller, a Republican.<\/p>\n

The race could be key in Republicans\u2019 efforts to flip the Senate in November\u2019s election. Republicans currently hold 49 seats and Democrats hold 48, but three independent senators caucus with Democrats, giving them the majority of seats.<\/p>\n

Other Senate races that Cook\u00a0rates<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0as toss ups are in Ohio (Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown), Montana (Democratic Sen. Jon Tester) and Arizona (Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema).<\/p>\n

\u201cExperts predict that Nevada could once again decide Senate control and my race is now caught in a statistical dead heat,\u201d Rosen said in a tweet from her campaign account.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Jessica Taylor, senate and governors editor for The Cook Political Report,\u00a0said<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0the rating change \u201cmay be a bit surprising.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter all, it\u2019s the only one of the swing states Democrats carried in both 2016 and 2020 at the presidential level, and Republicans haven\u2019t won a statewide federal race here since 2012,\u201d she wrote. \u201cAnd of the quartet now in Toss Up, it is still probably the toughest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cook assesses races based on competitiveness.<\/p>\n

\u201cCompetitiveness is determined by several factors, including the state\u2019s political makeup, the candidates’ strengths and weaknesses, the political environment in the state and nationally, and interviews with candidates and campaign professionals,\u201d Cook says on its website.<\/p>\n

Nevada\u2019s Democratic primary is on June 11.<\/p>\n
