Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks during a rally for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Adam Laxalt at Stoney’s Rockin’ Country in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 27, 2022.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Nevada Republican with a political pedigree and the backing from former President Donald Trump and the GOP establishment is facing a surprisingly strong primary challenge. Tuesday’s U.S. Senate primary was expected to be a cakewalk for Adam Laxalt. But Laxalt is facing a rising threat from retired Army captain and Purple Heart recipient Sam Brown. That’s making the Republican U.S. Senate primary in Nevada one of several races testing the potency of Trump’s support. Primaries are also taking place in South Carolina, Maine and North Dakota. Nevada’s Republican winner will face Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto in what may be the GOP’s best opportunity to flip a Senate seat.
