Long article
Snip--"Ultimately, seven members of the Senate Democratic caucus five of whom face re-election this year in states that Mr. Trump won in 2016 joined a united Republican conference to support Mr. Pompeos confirmation."
Snip--" His confirmation seemed all but assured after Senator Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, a Democrat who is running for re-election in a state that Mr. Trump won by a wide margin, said last week that she would support him.
Four other Democrats who are also running for re-election in states won by Mr. Trump Senators Joe Donnelly of Indiana, Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, Claire McCaskill of Missouri and Bill Nelson of Florida also voted to confirm Mr. Pompeo."
