2016 ND Senate race: on Foreign Policy


Eliot Glassheim: Opposes withdrawing American participation in NATO

The Glassheim campaign has been working hard to hammer Hoeven on Donald Trump, the GOP's presumptive presidential nominee and a man Hoeven has said he'll "support" but not endorse. That's politically convenient hair-splitting, according to Glassheim.

"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."
