Nevada Senate Race to Replace Harry Reid a Dead Heat, What the Heck?
The times they are a changin’. Fox News Latino reports that Democratic super-PAC is set to launch a new Spanish-language ad in Nevada aimed at comparing Republican Rep. Joe Heck to his party’s presidential nominee, Donald Trump. The ad, which will run in Nevada’s two most populous cities of Las Vegas and Reno, draws parallels between Trump and Heck and harangues the lawmaker on issues like immigration and education.
Heck is fighting former state Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto, a Democrat, to replace Democratic Nevada Sen. Harry Reid. The RealClearPolitics average of polls shows Heck and Cortez Masto in a statistical dead heat.
The ad references that Heck voted four times to rescind President Barack Obama’s deferred action programs. It then juxtaposes that with a subtitled clip of Trump declaring, “We’re going to have a deportation force.” The ad also hits Heck for voting to cut Pell grants, and then follows it up with a clip of the Republican presidential nominee pledging to cut the Department of Education.
