Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is set to attend a fundraiser on Jan. 19 co-hosted by a former senator who now works for a company that lobbies on behalf of the Keystone XL pipeline.
Republican Bill Cassidy handedly defeated Democratic incumbent Sen. Mary Landrieu in the runoff for the Louisiana Senate seat Saturday, according to the Associated Press and other sources.
The victory ousted Landrieu from the seat she has held for 18 years. For the first time since she was 23 years old, Landrieu will not hold political office.
Landrieu’s fellow Democrats abandoned her, including the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), which withdrew its $2 million ad buy for the runoff after Democrats lost control of the Senate in November. Her Senate colleagues also declined to join her in voting to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, a last ditch failed attempt by Landrieu to demonstrate her “clout.”
Local radio hosts in Louisiana mocked Sen. Mary Landrieu for giving a poor interview immediately after having the embattled Democrat on the air on Wednesday.
Conservative groups are running an aggressive final push in the runoff election for the Louisiana Senate seat, with additional ads hitting the airwaves Monday tying Democratic incumbent Sen. Mary Landrieu to President Barack Obama’s policies.
Bill de Blasio, the New York mayor, says he knows why Democrats lost the 2014 election. Income inequality defines our times, he said during a visit to Washington this week, and his party did not talk about the issue enough. De Blasio needs a hearing aid. Democrats speak of little else.
Democratic incumbent Sen. Mary Landrieu (La.) failed to convince enough members of her party to support the Keystone XL pipeline Tuesday evening, a vote considered a desperate attempt to save her Senate seat.
Democratic incumbent Sen. Mary Landrieu’s (La.) report on spending taxpayer dollars on campaign flights has been removed from her website and is no longer available online.
