RENO, Nev. — Republican Sam Brown overcame a crowded field of primary opponents to win Nevada’s GOP U.S. Senate primary on Tuesday, setting up a fierce general election battle against incumbent Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen that could decide which party controls the U.S. Senate.
Trump’s endorsement came as a blow to several opponents who had angled to align themselves with the former president, including Trump’s ambassador to Iceland, dermatologist Jeff Gunter. Brown was recruited by national Republicans looking to avoid a repeat of their lackluster showing in the 2022 midterms.
Brown, a Purple Heart recipient who was wounded while serving in Afghanistan, was long considered the GOP front-runner in a crowded primary field. He announced his Senate run last summer, less than a year after he lost his bid to challenge Nevada’s other Democratic senator in the western battleground state.
Brown, who was nearly killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan that scarred his face, made military service central to his message this campaign cycle, just as he did during his unsuccessful 2022 Senate campaign. In Nevada, voters braved blistering temperatures near or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit in Reno and Las Vegas as they cast ballots at school gymnasiums and other sites. In some spots, election workers set up fans to keep people cool.
