President Donald Trump traveled to Las Vegas on Saturday to fundraise for vulnerable Nevada Republican Sen. Dean Heller as part of the effort to expand the Senate’s majority -- something the president has focused on this week as part of the battle with Democrats over immigration.
Trump was traveling to the glitzy city for a private fundraiser, as well as a keynote address to the Nevada GOP convention. He was also expected to hold a separate roundtable event to promote the tax reform legislation passed in December.
Heller is the only Republican senator seeking re-election in a state won by Trump’s 2016 rival Hillary Clinton. This is one of the most closely watched races as Republicans look to expand on their 51-49 majority in the Senate.
He will face Democrat Jacky Rosen, who has outraised and outspent Heller so far, in the November race.
Trump is likely to receive a warm welcome from Republican leaders in the battleground state.
