Sharron Angle Will Run for Senate Again

March 18, 2016 · 8:17 pm ET · 61 Comments

Sharron Angle (R) has filed to run for the U.S. Senate in Nevada, the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.

Angle, a tea party darling, had faced Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) in 2010 after winning the GOP primaries and lost to him. This time around, she’ll challenge Rep. Joe Heck (R-NV) in a primary.

“Nevada conservative Sharron Angle (R) says she’s trying to determine if she could raise enough money to run for the U.S. Senate again, a move that could throw a wrench in Republicans’ hopes to claim Democratic Sen. Harry Reid’s soon-to-be-vacant seat,” the AP reports.

“The tea party darling won the Republican nomination in a divisive three-way primary in 2010, then lost to Reid in the general election, 50% to 45%.”

GOP Moves to Head Off Angle Challenge

October 26, 2015 · 7:00 am ET · 8 Comments

Sharron Angle’s (R) “very public flirtation with a primary bid against Rep. Joe Heck (R-NV), the party favorite to take on Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto (D), is reviving Democratic dreams and Republican nightmares from the 2010 election,” Politico reports.

“Angle — along with lackluster candidates Christine O’Donnell and Ken Buck — blew a winnable race for the GOP, and her name still causes eyerolls among Republicans of all stripes. And now that Republicans finally control the Senate, they aren’t about to let Angle screw things up.”
