President Donald Trump is waging a proxy war with the Nevada GOP establishment as his handpicked candidate looks to prevail in Tuesday’s primary to replace retiring Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV).
Trump-backed David Flippo will face former state Senate Republican leader James Settelmeyer, who is backed by both Gov. Joe Lombardo (R-NV) and Amodei, in the June 9 primary. The seat, rated “Solid Republican” by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, almost guarantees the Republican nominee will win in November.
