RENO, Nev. (AP) — Retired Army Capt. Sam Brown has overcome a crowded primary field in Nevada’s Republican U.S. Senate primary. His victory sets up a fierce battle against Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen in November that could decide control of the U.S. Senate. Brown was recruited by national Republicans who are deliberately trying to avoid a repeat of their lackluster showing in the 2022 midterms. All but cementing Brown’s victory was the endorsement from Donald Trump on Sunday. Brown told his supporters Tuesday that he would work to secure the borders, provide energy security, lower taxes and reform the judiciary.
