Retired Air Force Lt. Col. David Flippo won the Republican primary for Nevada’s 2nd Congressional District after receiving President Donald Trump’s endorsement. He will face Democrat Teresa Benitez-Thompson in November.
Flippo won the race after Trump endorsed him in the closing weeks of the campaign. Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo and retiring Rep. Mark Amodei had backed former state Sen. James Settelmeyer. Democrats said a Flippo victory could make it easier to attract less partisan voters in the November election, and nominated Teresa Benitez-Thompson.
