Brown said Nevadans would see a “clear contrast” between the America First policies supported by him and former President Trump over the next five months compared to those of Biden, which he said had led to a worsening of the border crisis, a deterioration of the state of the world. and an economy where prices are too high.
“The solutions are clear. We have to secure our border. We have to go after the cartels. We have to make sure that we do not allow people into this country who want to do harm. We have to make sure that the economy works for everyone , that there are good jobs, that we don't have unnecessary inflation, that we have an American energy policy that provides security and lower costs,” Brown told Fox.
“This is a future that is not too far away. We will achieve it after November.”

Brown soundly defeated his primary primary rival, former U.S. ambassador Jeff Gunter, by a significant margin, and will head into the general election with strong backing from Trump and national Republicans, who view the Nevada race as one of their main targets to move away from the Democrats. .
He will now face incumbent Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen, who also handily won her primary, in the November general election, where Democrats hope their well-funded operation will endure. the silver state Republicans are expected to do well nationwide.
Few polls have been conducted on the race, but a New York Times poll published last month showed Rosen and Brown tied at 41% with a number still undecided.
