Name Heidi Heitkamp Undersecretary of Energy or something like that. Heidi is toast in 2018, but it would be great if we can get that seat two years earlier. Republican Gov.-elect Burgum (who takes office on Dec. 15) can name conservative Republican Congressman Kevin Cramer (who almost certainly would be running against Heitkamp in 2018 were she to seek reelection) to the Senate, and the voters of ND can elect Cramer’s replacement in the House.
I agree. Trump should clear out some Dem Senate seats by giving them appointments.
