North Dakota's Heitkamp attacks Cramer in new ad on tariffs
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp sharpened her attack Friday on Republican Kevin Cramer on trade, launching a new ad that blames her opponent in one of the nation's most critical Senate races for not opposing tariffs that she says are badly damaging North Dakota farmers.
The ad features farmer and former Democratic state Rep. Charles Linderman of Carrington standing in a soybean field.
"Mr. Cramer, that trade war is costing my family a lot of money. And you don't seem to care," Linderman says in the ad.
Cramer, a three-term congressman, is facing Heitkamp in a race seen as critical for Republicans' chances to keep the Senate.
