Pro-Trump Outside Group Plans to Target Sen. Heller (R) for his opposing GOP health bill [View all]

The barrage attacks against Heller will be backed by $1M (by America First Priorities) blitz in his home state of Nevada. Heller has stated he can't support the bill because of its cuts to Medicaid. He's up for re-election in 2018. I kinda feel sorry for the guy. He can't vote for it, if his state wants to keep Medicaid as it is, but he'll be mercilessly attacked if he doesn't vote for it.

If he votes for the bill, though, that would give any Democratic opponent in 2018 a leg up, I would think.
