Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) said that President Trump once asked her to switch political parties during a December 2016 meeting in Trump Tower.
"When I visited with him in Trump Tower before he was sworn in, he asked me to switch parties," Heitkamp told The Washington Post on Tuesday in an interview.
"He says, 'You should switch parties,'" she recalled. "I said, "You should give me an Ex-Im bank.'"
She was referencing the Export-Import Bank. At the time of the meeting, Heitkamp was pressing to have Trump restore full lending powers to the agency.
