Flippo Wins GOP Primary in Nevada

Retired Air Force Lt. Col. David Flippo just won the Republican nomination for Nevada’s 2nd District — a key swing seat and the state’s only GOP-held congressional district — thanks to a late surge of support from Donald Trump. His victory upends the race, as he now faces Democrat Teresa Benitez-Thompson, while also setting up high-stakes matchups elsewhere: composer Marty O’Donnell (Trump-backed) challenges Rep. Susie Lee in the 3rd District, and Attorney General Aaron Ford — poised to become Nevada’s first Black governor — takes on GOP Gov. Joe Lombardo. Flippo, who recently relocated to the district, promises to tackle local issues like mining, water, and gas prices — all while positioning himself as Trump’s loyal ally fighting for working Nevadans.
