During his speech, Trump acknowledged Brown, Gunter and Marchant as “really good people”
The Nevada Senate GOP field’s allegiance to Donald Trump was on full display this weekend as every major candidate flocked to Trump’s MAGA rally in Las Vegas in a desperate attempt to prove their loyalty to the disgraced former president who has lost Nevada twice.
During his remarks, Trump mentioned the GOP primary and said it’s going to “be a very good race, we’ll see what happens.” He acknowledged three of the Republicans running for Senate – Gunter, Brown, and Marchant – but used the majority of his speech to attack Nikki Haley as a “bird brain,” disparage the bipartisan effort in the Senate to secure the border, and criticize NATO and U.S. support for Ukraine against Russia’s invasion while the GOP contenders all stood in support.
