All four candidates President Donald Trump endorsed in Nevada’s primary—each anointed in a Truth Social post—won their races Tuesday and will be on the ballot in November.
The most contentious race was for the 2nd Congressional District, which heavily leans Republican and has been held by retiring Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV) since 2011. Former state Sen. James Settelmeyer (R-Minden) was expected to be the frontrunner for the seat—until Trump endorsed retired Air Force Lt. Col. David Flippo less than two weeks before the election.
The endorsement also fractured the Silver State’s Republican Party.
The other three candidates Trump endorsed also won their primaries Tuesday: state Sen. Carrie Buck (R-Henderson), who will challenge Rep. Dina Titus (D-Nevada) in CD1; video game composer Marty O’Donnell, who will face Rep. Susie Lee (D-Nevada) in CD3; and attorney Adriana Guzmán Fralick, who will face state Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro for attorney general.
