That’s the charade.”Heller, viewed the Republicans’ most vulnerable senator seeking re-election this year, said Friday he supported Trump’s request for a supplemental FBI investigation of Kavanaugh. Heller aides did not immediately respond about whether he would vote against confirmation if the FBI investigation found evidence of sexual misconduct. During the campaign, Rosen has hounded Heller as first having been reluctant to support Trump, but then currying favour with the president to help his political fortunes. Heller is the only Republican seeking re-election in a state Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton carried in 2016. Trump campaigned in Las Vegas for Heller on Sept. 20, saying “Your incredible senator, Dean Heller, is going to be with us all the time.”
