Prominent Michigan Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell says she's skeptical of polling showing Joe Biden consistently ahead of President Trump in her home state and said Democrats must work hard to avoid another Trump upset win. Four years ago, Dingell said Trump could win the traditionally blue state of Michigan and now the congresswoman is sharing a similar warning that Michigan is not locked in for Biden. "I think it's a competitive race," Dingell told Fox News. "I don't believe the polls and I'm not going to stop working until Election Day."

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer are not sold on the polls that show former Vice President Joe Biden with a growing lead over President Donald Trump. The Democrats made their remarks at a Michigan Women for Biden event on Monday, the Detroit News reported. “Some people say, ‘Oh, look at the numbers,'” Dingell said. “I don’t believe these numbers.” Dingell said given the events of the past few months, a lot can unfold over the next few months leading up to November’s election. “The world is upside down and not one of us on this phone call...

The non-binding resolution passed 398-17. Resolution sponsor Rep. Brad Schneider, a Democrat from Illinois, told JTA that the measure’s resounding success shows that support for Israel is a bipartisan phenomenon. While the resolution also made clear that Americans had the right to petition the government in support or opposition to a particular foreign policy, some Democrats argued that the resolution, which has no force in law,...

Former President Clinton joked Thursday that nobody wanted to miss the funeral for Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) because it was their only chance to get "the last word" with the late veteran congressman.

The remark was met with heavy laughter and applause from the audience, including Clinton's wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who sat next to...

Former Congressman John Dingell, Jr., a partisan Democrat whose immediate family has controlled the same seat in the House of Representatives for 86 years, has some suggestions for fixing Congress. We should abolish the Senate and the Electoral College because they're undemocratic, "despite the constitutional hurdles of doing so." In 2015, Dingell retired from the U.S. House seat he's held since 1955, the seat he inherited from his father, John Dingell, Sr., who first won it in 1932. The seat has passed to John Jr.'s much-younger wife, Rep. Debbie Dingell, who was just re-elected in November. (Full disclosure: For 20...
