Former Republican Candidate for U.S. House Is Charged With Murder

Dan Rodimer, who promoted former President Trump’s endorsement in two failed bids for Congress, was charged with killing a man at a Las Vegas Strip resort in October.

A Republican candidate who ran unsuccessfully for Congress in Nevada in 2020 with the backing of President Donald J. Trump surrendered to the police on Wednesday after he was charged with killing a man in Las Vegas last year, his lawyers said.

The Las Vegas police issued an arrest warrant earlier on Wednesday for the former candidate, Daniel Rodimer, 45, a onetime professional wrestler, after he was charged with murdering Christopher Tapp, 47, at a resort on the Las Vegas Strip on Oct. 29.
