Sen. Heidi Heitkamp said she will likely remain in the Senate, despite being floated as a one of President-elect Donald Trump’s potential Cabinet picks. 

“The job that I have right now is incredibly challenging.  I love it,” the North Dakota Democrat told her brother Joel Heitkamp’s KFGO radio program on Thursday morning. “ These are ongoing discussions but also I will tell you that my first love is serving the people of North Dakota.“ 

“I’m not saying ‘never never,’ but I will tell you that I’m very, very honored to serve the people of North Dakota and I hope that no matter what I do, that will always be my first priority,” Heitkamp said.

Asked if that meant she was staying in the Senate, Heitkamp responded, “I think it’s likely that that’s going to be the outcome from all of this.”
