Hopefully this CIA news prevents a Tillerson nomination. I never thought I'd be rooting so hard for Romney.

Trump reportedly will name US Sen Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) as Agriculture Secretary. Under ND law, a special election will be held for seat.

Damn, well that's 53-47 if true.

Actually, it seems Politics1 tweeted that based on this Newsmax report: "Report: Trump to Nominate Democrat Heidi Heitkamp to Agriculture Secretary"
http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/donald-trump-heidi-heitkamp-agriculture/2016/12/10/id/763299/

But, that report says according to other news reports, which say she is the top choice but do not say she has actually been chosen. So it seems there actually isn't any new information here, just that she's the top candidate.

Christie was apparently offered several spots, including Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs, Ambassador to Italy, and a White House advisory role, but he turned them all down because he only wanted Attorney General.

Reinforcing what we know already, Heitkamp is Trump's top choice for Agriculture, but her fellow ND Dems think she's unlikely to take the job.

Fun fact: Roger Stone literally has a tattoo of Nixon on his back. Let's just say I'm not going to trust his account in its entirety.

Manchin will stay in the Senate.

Seung Min KimVerified account

After Rick Perry reported as Energy pick, Manchin says "I believe that I can best serve my state of West Virginia in the U.S.  Senate."

Unless Heitkamp leaves for Agriculture, we maintain a 52-48 Senate.
