“I’m excited, really excited, and a little nervous,” she told reporters. She avoided commenting on the national stakes of the Senate race in Nevada. “I’m not a pundit, and we’ll leave that to the pollsters. But I believe we’re going to win.”

‘The tears of the Democrats’
LOWELL, Ind. — Predictions of a Democratic wave are hard to find in northern Indiana. At a get-out-the-vote rally in a barn here this past weekend, hundreds of Republicans celebrated over brats and cornbread.
“The blue wave everyone is talking about will be the tears of the Democrats,” said Mark Paul John, a painter who describes himself as a “freedom artist.”
“The Democrats, they are not listening,” he said as he displayed a painting of soldiers he had given police officers in Ferguson, Mo., after the killing of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager who was shot by an officer. “They are just complaining.”
Adam Sedia, 34, a lawyer, said the crowd was larger than at the same event two years ago.
“A lot of people want to keep the momentum going,” he said, one foot up on a hay bale. “I’d like to see more justices like Justices Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh.”
Republican confidence was also high outside Indianapolis, at the final stop on Sunday night of the state G.O.P.’s bus tour. David Klingerman, 72, a retired contractor, said he “wasn’t feeling” a blue wave. “I think we’ll hold steady,” he said.
And up in Tippecanoe County, Bea Smith, the president of the local Republican women’s club, predicted a G.O.P. House and Senate.
