Sen. Jacky Rosen and Republican Sam Brown are locked in a tight Senate race in Nevada .

The state could determine if the Senate will be at the mercy of a few moderates or driven by a larger and more emboldened Republican majority.

Democrats have to win Nevada , and hold onto their seats in other perennial battlegrounds, to keep their slim Senate majority.

Rosen has had to balance aligning with Harris while stressing where she breaks with her party.

Rosen skipped the Democratic convention this summer , but she also campaigned with Harris at her first Nevada rally as the party’s presumptive presidential nominee.

Democrats have centered their attacks on Brown on abortion, even though he has said he would not support a federal ban on abortion.
