Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) is getting a primary challenger this week.

Dustin Peyer, a firefighter, is expected to formally announce his campaign against Heitkamp on Thursday at a marijuana reform really at the state capitol in Bismarck.

"I'm running for Senate against Heidi Heitkamp. Basically in my opinion on the Dem side we have a really boring primary and we can't allow that to happen anymore," Peyer told North Dakota radio station WDAY.

He added that it was also "about recognizing that over 60 percent of North Dakota caucused for Bernie Sanders on the Dem side."

Sanders got more than 64 percent of the state's caucus vote, compared to Hillary Clinton, who Heitkamp supported, who got more than 25%

Heitkamp and Manchin had better switch to IND or GOP with the swiftness before it's too late.

Heitkamp just needs to go ahead and switch. A Democrat will not win that race.

If Heitkamp gets primaried for a far left guy, a republican win will be guaranteed in that senate race.

if you read DU, they want all the moderate DEMs primaried by more extremists

if you read DU after the Gorsuch filibusterer, they were livid at all the DEMs who broke rank (strategically and with party permission) out of pure ideology. they have no belief in strategy or the party anymore and literally only care about their ideology (that's why they're doing things like protesting at Schumers house)

By the time it's all done, he'll probably endorse Heitkamp so he can get another house out of it.
