POLITICS 11/06/2018 11:00 pm ET Updated 24 minutes ago Republicans attacked Delgado over his brief career as a rapper. It didn't stop him from a historic victory. By Travis Waldron 1.7k Republicans ran racist attack ad after racist attack ad against Antonio Delgado, a Rhodes Scholar and first-time Democratic candidate vying to upset GOP Rep. John Faso in New York’s 19th Congressional District. It didn’t work. Delgado defeated Faso, a freshman House member, in Tuesday’s election, according to CNN and NBC. He will become the first non-white person to represent the Hudson Valley district in Congress. The race was among the most closely watched in the Democratic bid to flip 23 GOP seats to gain control of the House. Both parties invested heavily in the district, which supported Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential race but was carried by former President Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. Delgado earned a Rhodes scholarship to the … [Read more...] about Racist GOP Campaign Fails As Democrat Antonio Delgado Wins Key N.Y. House Race

The races that could decide who controls the House
With just over a month before Election Day, Democrats are more likely to regain the majority in the House of Representatives than not. The most recent CBS Battleground Tracker model shows that Democrats are on track to win some 224 seats in the House, which would give them control of the 435-seat chamber. Because every member in the House is up for re-election, there's not exactly a definitive guide to the most important campaigns. There are several interesting races that could determine the balance of the lower chamber, but aren't necessarily the only ones to watch. Here's a rundown of some of the most interesting House races being followed by the CBS Battleground Tracker, and why they matter: Colorado's 6th Congressional District Republican candidate: Mike Coffman (incumbent) Democratic candidate: Jason Crow Rep. Mike Coffman, who was first elected to Congress in 2008, has tried to highlight his independent streak in recent years.

Who’s got a friend in Pennsylvania?
close Video Pennsylvania, Idaho, Nebraska and Oregon hold primaries Ballotpedia editor-in-chief Scott Rasmussen comments on the march to the midterms. **Want FOX News Halftime Report in your inbox every day? Sign up here.** WHO’S GOT A FRIEND IN PENNSYLVANIA? There’s a reason that the most important street in Washington, D.C. is named Pennsylvania Avenue. Aside from being the “Keystone” that held together the span of new states, Pennsylvania had also been home to the largest city and the greatest concentration of wealth, thanks in large part to its abundant fields and forests. Naming the main drag in Washington for Pennsylvania was a sign of respect and probably intended as some consolation for losing the capital to a swampy barren by the Potomac River. Though New York would supplant Pennsylvania as the largest and most powerful state, Pennsylvania’s political significance was enormous until only recently. Until the … [Read more...] about Who’s got a friend in Pennsylvania?

(Nikki Kahn/The Washington Post) THE BIG IDEA: President Trump’s plan to pardon Lewis “Scooter” Libby is the latest signal to his associates that he has the power and inclination to reward those who stay loyal during special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. Libby was convicted of four felonies, including obstruction of justice and perjury before a grand jury, related to the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame during his time as Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff. Libby was sentenced to 30 months in prison and fined $250,000. Richard Painter, who was the chief ethics lawyer in the Bush White House from 2005 to 2007, tweeted: “So what’s the message here? Lie to a grand jury to protect political superiors and you will get a full pardon?” Remember, Trump’s lawyer reportedly told … [Read more...] about The Daily 202: Trump’s plan to pardon ‘Scooter’ Libby sends a message to witnesses in Mueller probe
