In a statement released on Twitter, Heitkamp said that she considers Gorsuch to be a "balanced, meticulous and well respected jurist who understands the rule of law." She also clarified that she thinks it was "disturbing" that Republicans did not confirm Judge Merrick Garland, but still intends to support Gorsuch as "the U.S. Supreme Court should be above politics."

Heitkamp's announcement came shortly following fellow Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) revealing that he would be voting to confirm Gorsuch.
