Rep. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., defeated Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev. Tuesday night, flipping a Senate seat that was one of the Democrats’ top targets this year.

In a battle that came down to the wire, Rosen, a one-term House member, defeated Heller and his bid for re-election. The race was considered one of the top pick-up opportunities for Democrats as Heller occupied the only GOP-held seat on the 2018 map where Hillary Clinton defeated President Trump two years ago.
