Big-Name Guests Stump In Nevada In Final Days Of Tight Rosen/Heller Race

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel is praising Democratic Rep. Jacky Rosen of Nevada while roasting President Donald Trump and Nevada Republican Sen. Dean Heller at a get-out-the-vote rally in Las Vegas.

Kimmel, Rosen and other Democrats spoke at a downtown Las Vegas art walk amid the final hours of early voting in the state's razor-thin U.S. Senate race.

Kimmel and Rosen highlighted Heller's support for GOP plans to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act and Kimmel called Heller a "pre-existing condition that Nevada can no longer afford."

Rosen called Heller's eventual support for repeal plans the "biggest broken promise in modern Nevada history."

Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr. says his father is leading the country like the kind of disciplinary parent America has needed for a long time.

President Trump's son told about 200 supporters at a Republican rally in a Reno cabinet warehouse Friday the nation is enjoying tremendous economic growth and the lowest unemployment in U.S. history.

But he said his father can't continue the success without key Republicans like Sen. Dean Heller and gubernatorial candidate Adam Laxalt.

Trump Jr. said the only political platform Democrats have is "outrage."

Regarding Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, he said if the Democrats can "destroy his life, they can try to do that to any one of you."

Trump Jr. also headlined a rally in Carson City and planned appearances later Friday in southern Nevada for Republicans seeking two key swing seats.
