Republican Senate candidate Danny Tarkanian has mounted a campaign to take Sen. Dean Heller's (R., Nev.) seat by contrasting Heller's rocky relationship with President Donald Trump to his own commitment to "support Trump and his America first agenda."
Tarkanian, who has been defeated five times for a seat in Congress, appeared Tuesday on "Fox & Friends," where he said Congress needed senators who supported Trump and his agenda, according to the Hill.
"I have so many people that are contacting me over the past couple months saying ‘you gotta run against Dean Heller,'" Tarkanian said on Fox News. "They understand, as I do, that we're never going to make America great again unless we have senators in office that fully support President Trump and his America first agenda."
"Dean Heller wasn't just one of the first Never-Trumpers in the state of Nevada, he was one of the most influential," Tarkanian said. "He actually helped Hillary Clinton win the state of Nevada."
Tarkanian also accused Heller of having "obstructed [Trump's] agenda." Heller, who vocally opposed Trump's candidacy and the GOP's recent efforts to repeal Obamacare, is seen as one of the most vulnerable Republicans up for reelection.
