"Exactly what part of Donald Trump's agenda does Sen. Hoeven support?" Glassheim said in a prepared statement in May. "Does Sen. Hoeven support lowering wages for working families? Does he support kicking 11 million people out of the country and tearing families apart--families who pay taxes and pay into the Social Security system? Does he support withdrawing American participation in NATO and allowing nuclear weapons to proliferate?"
Hoeven's campaign fired back by pointing out Glassheim would support either Bernie Sanders of Hillary Clinton for president--neither of whom were a presumptive nominee at the time--both of whom oppose fracking and would "weaken our Second Amendment rights."
The bipartisan $220 million aid package would tap into the same Energy Department funding Senator Hoeven voted to eliminate in order to provide aid to Flint and other cities [affected] by water contamination.
