CAMPAIGN/ELECTION/GOP/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “President Donald Trump is campaigning for Republican Rep. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, who is seeking to unseat Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp. Trump urged state Republicans to get behind Cramer’s campaign during an event in Fargo. He says Cramer will help Republicans push for stronger borders and ‘no crime’ and help protect Medicare and Social Security. The president says Cramer will be the best choice for the state’s Native American community and he’s making a similar argument that he made to black voters in 2016. Trump says, ‘What do you have to lose?’ The president is appearing at events in North Dakota and South Dakota ahead of the November midterm elections.”
