Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, one of the most vulnerable Democrats up for reelection this November. In all, Koch groups are backing GOP candidates in just four Senate races right now and steering clear of five out of the eight toss-up races. They’re going to support Republicans regardless.”“And by Kochs, he was talking about all of you,” she told donors. “I think the Koch network is tremendous in what they accomplish philanthropically and politically in general,” he said. Among the Republicans who will get robust support from Koch groups is Rep. Marsha Blackburn, who is running for U.S. Senate in Tennessee.
