David Flippo wins Republican nomination for U.S. House in Nevada’s 2nd Congressional District
David Flippo will face Teresa Benitez-Thompson after winning 45.7% of the vote in Nevada's competitive 2nd Congressional District primary, officials said.
- David Flippo, Republican candidate, won the primary in Nevada's 2nd Congressional District on Tuesday, securing the nomination after receiving a late endorsement from President Donald Trump to bolster his campaign.
- The seat became vacant after retiring Rep. Mark Amodei announced his departure following 15 years in office; Amodei backed former state Sen. James Settelmeyer, placing him in direct opposition to Trump during the primary.
- As of early Wednesday, Flippo led Settelmeyer with 45.7% of the vote to 35.3% with an estimated 83% of ballots counted in the district, which covers northern Nevada and the battleground county of Washoe.
- Democrats hoped for a Flippo victory, believing it would improve their chances with less partisan voters in November, and Flippo stated on X he will join Trump to "fight for the hard working men and women" in Nevada.
