Hasn’t happened yet, but I expect Heidi Heitkamp in ND will be endorsed by NRA. Joe Manchin as well.
In both of those cases the opponent will be proNRA as well though.

Would you support primaries against these two?

Good questions. In the former case, I would vote for the Democrat then I’d be all over that candidate like ugly on an ape every minute until they changed their minds, and I’d be looking for an alternative to primary them next time around. In the case of the later … well, show me examples and I’ll respond on a case by case basis. I doubt you’ll find any current examples.

What should people do in the special election in Pennsylvania?
Conor Lamb is pro-NRA, and Rick Saccone is endorsed by the NRA.

What if you have a Democrat endorsed by the NRA running against a Republican who isn’t supporting the NRA?
