She’s a Democrat, and a special election to replace would likely result in a Republican taking her seat.

As The Hill reported Friday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) met with Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), an early Trump backer, to discuss a potential future in the upper chamber.

Cramer has said he plans to challenge Heitkamp in 2018. A bid to flip Heitkamp’s seat red could increase the GOP’s Senate majority.A GOP source told the Hill that McConnell has been collaborating with the transition team.

“His message was 52 is a good number, but 53 or 54 is a lot better number. And the sooner the better,” the source said of the GOP’s majority in the Senate.

    So they put a democrat in a minor cabinet position, so they can replace her with a republican. I can see all our freedoms circling the drain, except the right to bear arms. We’ll all be starving, homeless and unemployed, but we’ll be packing heat.

    Dems have just 48 Senators caucusing, including both Indys. 48 includes (D-ND) Heidi Heitkamp, and a special election to replace would likely result in another Republican Russian taking her seat.
