An intense battle is brewing within the Republican Senate primary in Nevada, causing a rift among those associated with former President Donald Trump. The upcoming race against Democratic incumbent Sen. Jacky Rosen is anticipated to be highly competitive, with Trump and the National Republican Senatorial Committee taking different stances.
Senator Steve Daines, the NRSC chairman, has recruited Sam Brown, a retired Army captain who suffered severe injuries in Afghanistan, to run in the November election. Brown recently sought Trump's endorsement during a meeting at Mar-a-Lago, but this move has angered some of Trump's ardent supporters who are backing Dr. Jeffrey Gunter, Trump's former ambassador to Iceland.
