Trump-endorsed Sam Brown wins Nevada Senate GOP primary
SUMMARY
Retired Army Capt. Sam Brown, backed by Donald Trump, is projected to win the Nevada Senate GOP primary, defeating former U.S. Ambassador Jeff Gunter. Despite Gunter's criticism of Brown's ties to Trump, Senate Republicans denied any interference in Trump's endorsement. Brown's victory was anticipated even before Trump's backing. He faces Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) in November, with the race considered a "toss-up" by the Cook Political Report. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) released an ad targeting Brown's past comments on Yucca Mountain, abortion, and entitlement programs. The NRSC praised Brown's win, emphasizing his support for border security and economic issues.
