Former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt may be planning to run for U.S. Senate. His name came up quite a bit at this weekend’s Basque Fry in Gardnerville. But Laxalt did not make any announcement about plans to challenge Senator Catherine Cortez Masto Saturday. Instead, he canceled a planned media gathering. In a pre-recorded message, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis encouraged Laxalt to run. Laxalt unsuccessfully ran for governor in 2018.
