41% : The senator's campaign spokesman, Josh Marcus-Blank, said in an emailed statement that Laxalt has "attacked federal law enforcement" and "sided with insurrectionists who went after Capitol Police."Earlier this year, Laxalt told The Associated Press in a statement that he believes the "very few" who broke laws on Jan. 6 should be prosecuted.
34% : HENDERSON, Nev. -- Adam Laxalt teed off on his Democratic opponent in Nevada's Senate race at a campaign event here on Wednesday by accusing Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of failing to stand behind law enforcement in 2020 following a George Floyd protest that turned violent.
