Republican drops Senate primary challenge to Heller after Trump's urging
By Ben Kamisar - 03/16/18 12:42 PM EDT

Danny Tarkanian, a perennial Republican candidate who had planned a primary challenge to Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.), will now run for the House instead after President Trump convinced him to halt his Senate bid.
 
Tarkanian had been positioning himself for a run to Heller's right, blasting the incumbent as a weak ally to Trump. But in what appeared to be an orchestrated move, Trump endorsed a Tarkanian House bid on Twitter on Friday, then Tarkanian quickly switched to the House bid.
 
The first public inkling of the plan came from Trump's tweet on Friday afternoon, hours before the filing deadline in Nevada.

Hopefully Tark could displace a democrat.

Losers always feel that they have to run. That is a problem.

Hoping someday it would be "their turn."  Where would they get an idea like that.
