Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.), if re-elected next month, will lean further left than she lets on, her staffers were recorded as saying by undercover reporters from Project Veritas Action.

“It’s election year for her. She’s being careful about [expletive] people off and, it’s funny, she said basically, like, after the election, if and when she gets re-elected, she’s going to be super liberal,” Jesse Overton, digital director for Heitkamp, said with a chuckle.
