Craig will shift to the left if she is elected as MN's next Senator. Having said that, I personally try to reward ideological consistency over politicking where and when it makes sense (this is MN after all, not WV/MT/OH). In the case of MN, while Craig is a great Democrat and a fantastic rep for her seat and her part of the state, there is no reason to not select a more liberal but still very solid candidate, which in this case is LG Flanagan.
Like Gillibrand shifted to the left? But there are those occasional big votes when she can't be counted on, like the vote for the Republican budget. She's still pretending to fight for all of the things she voted to cut and not reminding her constituents about that vote in her mass emails...
We should never bank on a candidate shifting in any direction when going statewide instead of their district specifically. There's one famous example of someone moving left when becoming senator (Gillibrand) and one equally famous example of someone moving right when becoming senator (Sinema).
Fact is we do not know. Right now it's only an assumption. Craig could move left. She might not.
