News of her victory was projected by the Associated Press at 9:15 p.m. PT. Other news organizations had declared her the winner earlier this week.

She was leading Brown, R, by 20,571 votes, according to news reports. That’s a difference of approximately 1.4%.

Naming her the winner came after Clark County processed late mail-in ballots, according to Las Vegas TV station KLAS.

To be counted in the race, mail-in ballots needed to be postmarked by Election Day, which was Tuesday.

Second Term for Rosen

This marks the second Senate term for Rosen. She initially was elected in 2018.

Previously, she was elected to House of Representatives in 2016.

Brown, a former Army officer, was endorsed by President-elect Donald Trump.

Initially Too Close To Call

The Rosen vs. Brown race was considered a toss-up by pollsters and then was too close to call after the polls closed on Tuesday.

As of Thursday, Rosen led Brown by 12,699 votes, based on numbers reported by the AP.

Rosen was leading then with 47.6% of the votes, which totaled 644,471, as of Thursday morning. Brown had 46.7% of the votes totaling 631,772.

Rosen was projected on Thursday to have won against Brown by Decision Desk HQ, The Hill reported. But other news organizations were hesitant to call the race given the number of ballots that had yet to be counted.

Many votes cast in Nevada still have questionable signatures. Voters have until Tuesday to verify their signatures on these ballots. As of Wednesday, 12,736 mail-in ballots had problematic signatures.

In some of Tuesday’s Senate races, the Republican candidates benefited from the historic victory seen by former President Donald Trump (R) over Vice President Kamala Harris (D) on Election Day.

Republicans had hoped Brown would capture the Senate seat, to boost the Republican majority in the Senate. The Republicans now have 53 seats in the Senate, while the Democrats have 46. The Arizona Senate seat has yet to be called.

In Arizona, Kari Lake, R, still trailed Ruben Gallego, D, on Friday in the close Senate race. As of Friday night, Lake trailed Gallego by 1.1% with a 32,779-vote difference, according to AZMirror, a regional news site.
