The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election handicapper, has upgraded Nevada Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen’s re-election bid from being categorized as “Lean Democrat” and moved it into the “Toss Up” column, on Wednesday. This marks the fourth “Toss Up” race, with Nevada joining the ranks of swing states Arizona, Ohio, and Montana.

The other hotly contested seats with this designation include Arizona, where former Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake is challenging progressive Rep. Ruben Gallego for the Senate seat currently held by now-independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who is not seeking re-election.
