Kentucky Gov.Andy Beshear (D) won a second term Tuesday against the State’s Attorney General Daniel Cameron, a Republican’s rising star. The 45-year-old governor won the race by a wide margin with a 52.5% vote compared to opponent Cameron’s 47.5%. It was a remarkable feat given that the state went for Donald Trump by a margin of 26% in 2020. “Tonight, Kentucky made a choice, a choice not to move to the right or to the left, but to move forward,” said Beshear in his victory speech. “Our neighbors aren’t just Democrats. They’re not just Republicans. They’re not just independents. Every single pe...

The bill passed by a majority vote of 226 to 196, mostly along party lines. It is unusual for providing assistance to Israel to be a partisan issue – 12 Democrats and 214 Republicans were in favor, while 194 Democrats and 2 Republicans objected. The bill was introduced as an immediate response to the attack by Hamas militants, which was the first legislative action taken under new Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Loui...

House Democrats have abandoned their proposal to vote on a resolution to censure Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia). The decision to withdraw the motion came after a group of Republicans joined forces with the Democrats to scuttle a resolution that condemned Rep.

Greene initiated her resolution to condemn Tlaib after the latter criticized Israel in the wake of last month’s attack by Hamas. After Greene filed her motion, Rep. Becca Balint (D-Vermont), a ...

On Wednesday, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) was elected House speaker with 220 votes, more than the 217 votes he needed to be elected.
