Retired Army Captain Sam Brown has won the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate in Nevada, following a last-minute endorsement from former President Donald Trump. Brown, a Purple Heart recipient, emerged victorious in a crowded primary field, defeating his closest challenger, Jeff Gunter, with approximately 60% of votes. This endorsement by Trump was seen as a crucial boost for Brown just days before the primary. Brown will now face incumbent Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen in the November general election, which is expected to be highly competitive. Brown's campaign was marked by a decisive fundraising edge and significant support from Trump, despite some MAGA supporters expressing discontent with the endorsement.
