Heidi Heitkamp got some unwelcome news this morning as the chairman of the Senate Democrats’ campaign arm, Senator Chris Van Hollen, said Senate Democrats would “welcome support” from failed Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail.
Van Hollen must have forgotten about Clinton’s abysmal showing in North Dakota, where voters soundly rejected her candidacy and she remains historically unpopular. Clinton’s arrival in North Dakota would be devastating to Heitkamp’s campaign and serve as a stark reminder that she doesn’t stand for them.
So will Heitkamp, who vocally backed Clinton’s disastrous campaign, welcome Hillary to North Dakota? Or will she pretend as if she never supported Clinton’s train wreck of a presidential campaign?
“Red state Democrats’ infatuation with the Clintons will be catastrophic for their electoral prospects,” said NRSC Spokesman Michael McAdams. “With Hillary hitting the campaign trail, North Dakota voters are going to be reminded day in and day out of her toxic agenda and why they rejected the left-wing ideas Heidi Heitkamp enthusiastically backed.”
