Former Nevada Attorney General and U.S. Senate candidate Catherine Cortez Masto released the following statement after Congressman Heck withdrew his support for Donald Trump:
"For nine months, Joe Heck has been Donald Trump's strongest supporter in Nevada as Trump has demeaned and disrespected women, made racists comments towards Latinos and showed himself completely unfit to be President. Heck said he had "high hopes' about Trump becoming President, that he completely supported him and that he had no doubts about Trump having his finger on the nuclear button. What you're seeing now is not leadership, it's Joe Heck trying to save his career, but Joe Heck's made clear that he's with Donald Trump."
