Former President Donald J. Trump on Sunday stated he was endorsing Sam Brown, the Military veteran who’s main the crowded Republican main area in Nevada’s U.S. Senate race.
“Sam Brown is a fearless American patriot,” Mr. Trump wrote in a put up on his social media web site, Reality Social, including that Mr. Brown would “battle tirelessly” to guard the border and enhance the financial system.
The endorsement, although belated — the first is on June 11 and early voting has already ended — solidifies Mr. Brown’s standing because the front-runner and heavy favourite to advance to November’s normal election in opposition to Senator Jacky Rosen, the Democratic incumbent. He has raised more cash than his main rivals, acquired the endorsement of the state’s Republican governor, Joe Lombardo, and led by double-digits in each current ballot of the race, although most have been commissioned by his personal marketing campaign.

In a put up on X, Mr. Brown stated he was “honored” to have Mr. Trump’s endorsement. “I stay up for working with you to convey a greater future to each Nevadan and American after we each win in November,” Mr. Brown stated.
