Joseph Michael LombardoR41%
Nevada is a swing state that could determine party control of governorships nationwide. The race between Lombardo and Democrat Aaron Ford is a toss-up where either party has a good chance of winning. This seat directly impacts whether Republicans can maintain their narrow advantage in gubernatorial control.

Catherine Cortez Masto
Lean D★ Flip Potential
Nevada is a perennial battleground state. Cortez Masto's underwater approval rating (31% approval, 42% disapproval) driven by Democratic base division suggests vulnerability in 2028. The state has become more competitive for Republicans, and her narrow 2022 victory margin (less than 1%) indicates the seat could flip if she faces a well-funded Republican opponent in 2028.
