Pro-Trump Group Attacks Heller over His Opposition to Healthcare Plan

HeadlineJun 28, 2017

As Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was forced to delay a vote on the GOP healthcare bill because of infighting within the Republican Party, America First Policies, a pro-Trump group sanctioned by the White House, launched a $1 million TV and radio ad campaign attacking Republican Senator Dean Heller over his opposition to the healthcare bill.

America First Policies ad: “But now, with strong leadership and a real chance to repeal and replace Obamacare with patient-centered care that protects American families, Senator Dean Heller is saying no. Call Senator Heller. Tell him America needs him to keep his promise.”

The attack ad offers further evidence of infighting within the Republican Party.
