Deceased brothel owner Dennis Hof won a seat in the Nevada state legislature on Tuesday, handily defeating his living Democratic opponent Lesia Romanov. Labelling himself the “Trump of Pahrump,” the pimp, former reality star and accused sexual abuser ran a controversial campaign to win the state’s Republican-leaning 36th assembly district. After besting incumbent James Oscarson in the primary, Hof was expected to cruise to victory Tuesday night.

Jacky Rosen has been projected to win the Senate seat in Nevada, becoming the Democrat’s first key pickup in the Senate.
CNN called the race where Rosen has unseated incumbent Dean Heller.
Heller was the only incumbent Gop senator running for re-election in a state won by Hillary Clinton. Freshmen member of Congress Rosen, who was a former synagogue president, won by stumping for health care.
It comes after a long-night in the Senate for the Democrats, who saw Hollywood favorite Beto O’Rourke lose to Ted Cruz in Texas.

With the 2018 midterm elections tomorrow, late night hosts are joining the rest of the news world to focus on what could result in a Democratic takeover of the House — some more lightheartedly than others.
On “The Late Show,” Stephen Colbert was on edge, turning to a pull of bourbon to calm his nerves.
“Now this year, especially, after being burned by all the prognosticating in 2016, the folks on cable news are playing it safe,” he said, followed by a clip of CNN and Fox correspondents insisting that no one knows how the elections will turn out.
“No, you’re lying!” he said. “I need to know! We can figure this out. Modern statistical analysis can tell me exactly who’s gonna win tomorrow so I can sleep tonight. Let’s crunch the numbers!”
He broke into a mock-hysterical rundown of some key election numbers, including Claire McCaskill in Missouri and Beto O’Rourke in Texas.

The Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court battle has turned into one of the most contentious nominations in our nation’s history. President Trump’s nominee has been accused of past sexual assaults and of being dishonest before the Senate.
Despite testimony by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Kavanaugh’s nomination cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee on a party-line vote on September 28th. Following an unaccountably incomplete investigation by the FBI, Kavanaugh’s nomination cleared a key procedural hurdle, setting up a final vote this weekend.

President Donald Trump held a rally Thursday night at the Las Vegas Convention Center, his first since canceling a series of rallies last week because of Hurricane Florence.
The rally happened as his pick for the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, faces unexpected turbulence from a revelation of possible sexual misconduct in high school. A somewhat hoarse Trump briefly touched on the issue, noting, “I’m not saying anything about anybody else – but Brett Kavanaugh is one of the finest human beings you will ever have the privilege of knowing or meeting. A great intellect, a great gentleman.”
As to the current scandal, “We gotta let it play out – but he is a fine, fine person.” Trump added: “I think everything is going to be just fine.”
The rally was also a chance for Trump to stump for Nevada Republican Dean Heller, who faces a midterm challenge for the Us Senate...
