President Donald Trump is taking his campaign to maintain Republican control of the Senate to a pair of states where the sexual assault allegation against his Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, is beginning to reverberate.
Trump held a rally in Las Vegas Thursday night and will hold another in Missouri on Friday in support of Republican men facing Democratic women in two of the nation’s tightest Senate races. In Nevada, Senator Dean Heller dismissed the allegation against Kavanaugh as a "hiccup.” In Missouri, Attorney General Josh Hawley, the GOP Senate candidate, complained Democrats "ambushed” the high court nominee.
