Rep. Keith Ellison Trailing in New Poll for Minnesota Attorney General

 

Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison has fallen behind Republican Doug Wardlow in the race for Minnesota attorney general, a new poll released this week showed.

 

Wardlow flipped the race on its head, pacing Ellison by 7 points, 43 percent to 36 percent, according to the Star Tribune/MPR News poll conducted as the discussion surrounding an allegation of domestic abuse levied against Ellison by his ex-girlfriend heightened over the last month.

GOP Uses Senate Recess To Ram Through Trump’s Judicial Nominees

 

Senate Republicans have learned their lesson from the horror show that was the Kavanaugh hearings by using the current recess as a chance to ram through some of President Trump's judicial nominees.

 

According to The Huffington Post, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has held two hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee this week even though most senators were absent for the sake of campaigning for the midterms. Rather comically, not even Grassley attended the hearings and instead permitted Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) and Sen. Mike Crapo (R-ID) to the chair the hearings.

 

"Not a single Democrat could attend either hearing," lamented HuffPo. "Only one other Republican, Sen. Orrin Hatch (Utah), was present. That means, between those two hearings, that three of Trump’s circuit court nominees and seven of his district court nominees sailed through without any real questions."

Claire McCaskill runs ad saying she's 'not one of those crazy Democrats'

 

Campaign spot is airing on radio stations in rural Republican parts of the state

In the final stretch of a tight Senate race in increasingly red Missouri, Sen. Claire McCaskill turned against her own party in a new campaign radio ad that declares she is “not one of those crazy Democrats.”

The unusual message has been hitting the airwaves in central Missouri for about a week, and it debuted as Republican challenger Josh Hawley’s internal campaign polls showed him taking a 7-percentage-point lead in a race that for months has been a dead heat.

The radio spot, which was first reported by CNN, features voices of two middle-aged men discussing the race. They take a few shots at Mr. Hawley for being a “man in a hurry” and spending to much time at the gym before turning their attention to the two-term incumbent.

“I don’t always agree with Claire McCaskill but she works hard, fighting against those tariffs, doing all those town halls,” the first man says. “Claire’s not afraid to stand up against her own party.”

The second man interjects: “Yep and Claire’s not one of those crazy Democrats. She works right in the middle and finds compromise.”

The McCaskill campaign refused to answer questions from The Washington Times about whom the candidate considers to be “crazy Democrats.”
