Democrats rush to prop up Sen. Heidi Heitkamp's re-election bid
[WashingtonTimes] Sen. Heidi Heitkamp’s colleagues are rallying behind the North Dakota Democrat following her decision to oppose Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey, a pair of possible 2020 presidential contenders, and Sens. Tim Kaine of Virginia and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire blasted out separate fundraising emails Friday on behalf of Ms. Heitkamp, commending her for putting 'country before politics' by voting "no" on Judge Kavanaugh.  'Heidi is voting for her values regardless of any right-wing attacks that could further jeopardize her reelection campaign in North Dakota ‐ a state that President Trump won by double digits," Mr. Booker said in his request. "Now we need to stand up for Heidi and help her fight back to ensure her Senate seat remains blue.'" Will be interesting to see how the ND Native American electorate welcomes Sens. Harris and Booker. The Dems may be attempting to leverage the Trump Casinos -vs- Native American Casinos angle./span> Posted by: Anomalous Sources 2018-10-06 |
