Republican Senate candidate Danny Tarkanian, who’s been mounting a primary challenge to Nevada Sen. Dean Heller (R-N.V.), officially bowed out of the race following President Donald Trump’s request-via-Twitter on Friday.
“It would be great for the Republican Party of Nevada, and it’s unity if good guy Danny Tarkanian would run for Congress and Dean Heller, who is doing a really good job, could run for Senate unopposed!” Trump tweeted on Friday.
