Trump’s May 29 endorsement of retired Lt. Col. David Flippo as the “America First” choice has driven trader consensus toward him at 62 percent in the June 9 Republican primary for Nevada’s open 2nd District seat. Flippo has leveraged the backing plus a $1.7 million fundraising edge to position himself against former state Sen. James Settelmeyer, who holds endorsements from Gov. Joe Lombardo and retiring Rep. Mark Amodei and trails at 37 percent. Questions over Flippo’s recent move to northern Nevada have surfaced as a late attack line but have not reversed the post-endorsement shift. The remaining dozen candidates, including Fred Simon, remain below 2 percent each. The two-day window to primary day leaves little time for further movement absent major new developments.
