Presented with the opportunity to fill a second vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court, and with only the narrowest of majorities in the U.S. Senate, President Donald Trump on Thursday evening began reaching out to Democrats from Red states, looking for possible votes in favor of his eventual nominee.

Meeting at the White House with a group of Senators, the President sat down with the three Democrats who voted for Justice Neil Gorsuch back in April of 2017 – Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), and Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-IN) – all of whom could be in play on this nomination as well, as all three are up for re-election in 2018.

“I look forward to more positive meetings,” Sen. Manchin said in a tweet after he left the White House.

Outside the White House gates, Heitkamp taped her reply to the President, and the voters back in her home state.
