Brown highlighted the importance of hope in challenging times and presented his candidacy as a way to bring hope to Nevadans facing economic struggles.
In his speech, Brown criticized his opponent, Sen. Jacky Rosen, and President Joe Biden for their tax policies, emphasizing his alignment with President Trump’s goals, including ending taxes on tips. He also made a national security appeal, warning of the consequences of Biden’s leadership on service members.
During his lengthy acceptance speech, Trump mentioned the Nevada Senate race, particularly highlighting Brown and his sacrifices.
