red state democrats

Republicans say North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp's emphasis on her points of agreement with Trump won't wash away the fact that she's a Democrat in a solidly red state.

A narrowly divided Senate is putting two Republican women who support abortion rights and three red-state Democrats in the spotlight as the critical votes in the Supreme Court confirmation process.

The president invited a bipartisan group of senators to the White House on Thursday to build support for his Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch.
