Democrat Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) was met with anything but a warm welcome at the 84th annual Nevada Day Parade in Carson City on Saturday.
As the vulnerable incumbent traveled by parade attendees atop a reelection campaign float, she was greeted with a host of boos, angry shouts, and thumbs-down gestures, a video from her Republican opponent’s campaign shows.

“The crowd in Carson City booed Catherine Cortez Masto hard today,” GOP U.S. Senate candidate Adam Laxalt’s campaign wrote on Twitter. “It’s no surprise! Nevadans don’t want a rubber stamp for Biden representing them in the Senate.”
Team Laxalt posted another video showing cheers and positive crowd reactions as former state Attorney General Laxalt passed by on his own float.

The drastically different crowd responses come less than 10 days before Cortez Masto and Laxalt face off in the midterm election. Laxalt has been narrowly leading his Democrat opponent since September, with at least ten polls showing him ahead.
Since September, there have been TEN polls showing us leading @CortezMasto!
Nevadans are sending a clear message they don’t want a Biden rubber stamp in the Senate.
They want a Senator who will fight on their behalf day in and day out. And that is exactly what I will do. pic.twitter.com/FZWtlqNuY5

“Nevadans are sending a clear message they don’t want a Biden rubber stamp in the Senate. They want a Senator who will fight on their behalf day in and day out. And that is exactly what I will do,” Laxalt tweeted.
