"Senate Republicans, riding high after capturing the majority, said Wednesday that a top priority in 2016 will be defeating Democratic leader Harry Reid. 'It's not just about being in the majority, it's about expanding the majority at this point,' Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., told reporters. "We'll do whatever it takes to make that happen.' ... In 2016, Republicans will be trying to protect 24 seats to the Democrats' 10. Heller said he and other Republicans have spoken to Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval, who easily won another term last week, about challenging Reid. 'I think he'll want to assess and we'll give him a little time to do that,' Heller said of Sandoval. Other potential challengers are newly elected Lt. Gov. Mark Hutchison and Rep. Joe Heck." [AP]
