“Republican Senate hopeful Jeffrey Gunter is learning a painful lesson: What happens in Reykjavik doesn’t always stay in Reykjavik,” Politico reports.
“Gunter is touting his 18-month tenure as former President Donald Trump’s ambassador to Iceland in his Nevada primary bid. But his stint abroad also earned him plenty of enemies who don’t want to see a Senator Gunter. That points to a tough road ahead as he seeks the GOP nomination to take on Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) in a state where the party hasn’t won a Senate race in 11 years.”
“National Republicans were wary of Gunter’s candidacy to begin with and warned him not to enter the Senate primary… Among their reasons for trying to dissuade Gunter: his apparent lack of a voting record in Nevada and his Democratic voting registration in California.”
