Democrats got knocked down in 2016, losing the White House and falling well short of expectations in the House and the Senate. But they’ve…
It’s never good to be on trial for bribery and up for re-election at the same time, but that doesn’t mean Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez is going to lose next year in New Jersey.
