Republican David Flippo holds a clear edge in Nevada’s open 2nd congressional district, where Republicans maintain a substantial registration advantage and the seat has backed GOP candidates by double digits in recent cycles. Trader pricing at 74 percent for Flippo reflects this baseline partisan tilt plus his June primary victory with President Trump’s endorsement. Recent developments have narrowed the gap, however: allegations concerning Flippo’s military service record and district ties prompted Republican super PAC advertising and a planned Trump visit, while the DCCC added Democrat Teresa Benitez-Thompson to its Red to Blue program and early polls showed the race within single digits. Forecasters rate the contest Likely Republican, with the November 3 general election still weeks away.
