Sen. Heidi Heitkamp Recovering from Surgery

Sen. Heidi Heitkamp is recovering from hip replacement surgery.

A spokesman says the North Dakota Democrat had her right hip replaced on Monday in Bismarck.

He says the surgery was “successful and she’s doing well.”

Heitkamp will be back in Washington, D.C. when the Senate’s summertime break is over.

The 59-year-old Heitkamp survived breast cancer in the early 2000s.
