Retiring GOP Congressmember Will 'Absolutely Not' Vote for Successor in at-Risk Seat
Amodei says allegations against David Flippo and weak polling have put the GOP-held Nevada seat at risk, and he may back an independent instead.
- Rep. Mark Amodei announced Saturday he will "absolutely not" vote for Trump-endorsed businessman David Flippo to succeed him in Nevada's 2nd District.
- Having held the Northern Nevada seat for 15 years, Amodei criticized the vetting process as "nearly non-existent" and cited stolen valor allegations against Flippo.
- The outgoing representative warned the once-safe seat is now "at risk" of flipping blue on Election Day, as Democrats field Nevada Assembly Majority Leader Teresa Benitez-Thompson.
- Expressing frustration with the "cynical" selection process, Amodei stated he is seriously considering backing an independent candidate rather than the Republican nominee.
- Warning that the political climate has soured for the GOP, Amodei urged Republicans to "button up their chin strap" to maintain their House majority.
