Nevada Republicans selected Sam Brown to take on incumbent Sen. Jacky Rosen in November, as Democrats fight to hold onto their Senate majority.
Washington — Businessman and former Army Capt. Sam Brown easily won the Republican Nevada Senate primary Tuesday, setting up a key November race with incumbent Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen, when the balance of the Senate will be up in the air. Brown and Rosen both won their respective primaries, the Associated Press projected. Republicans haven't won a Senate race in the Silver State since 2012.
Gunter, who worked under the Trump administration and had the backing of some of the former president's allies, tried to position himself as close to Trump throughout his campaign, calling himself '110% pro-Trump.' Looking toward the general election, a survey conducted in late April by Emerson College found Rosen leading Brown 45% to 37% in a hypothetical matchup. And the incumbent saw a larger lead against Gunter.
