Democrats in tough Senate races around the country are throwing their party under the bus as they seek to pull out victories in red states won just two years ago by President Trump. In Missouri, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D) has a radio ad declaring she’s “not one of those crazy Democrats.” She’s in a razor-tight race against Josh Hawley, the state’s attorney general. In Montana, Sen. Jon Tester (D), whose race against Republican Matt Rosendale has tightened considerably, told The Hill that Democrats “botched” the debate over Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. He also criticized Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D)...

BRIDGETON • Joe Biden came to campaign for Sen. Claire McCaskill and other Democrats on Wednesday and declared that “unions built the middle class” while President Donald Trump was leading the nation into an era of incivility and meanness. Biden did not name Trump in a 42-minute stemwinder, but the former vice president embedded references to Trump throughout. “There is something different about this year’s elections,” Biden told about 1,000 people in a packed union hall here. “This year’s election is bigger than politics. It really is, because the character of our country is on the ballot.”

Authorities are investigating the death of a Ferguson protester’s son as a suicide, although a message on social media posted by his mother has sparked assertions that it was a lynching. Melissa McKinnies, who was active in the St. Louis suburb after the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in 2014, posted the Facebook message, saying “They lynched my baby.” The message, which Facebook later removed, began trending on social media sites such as Twitter and Reddit, causing people online and in the community to press officials for more answers about the death of 24-year-old Danye Jones. His body was...

“To the barricades, comrades!” That could be Nancy Pelosi’s battle cry come November . . . if you believe Malcolm Nance, that is. Appearing on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show this morning, terrorism analyst Nance raised the specter of Russian meddling with the Dems’ “blue wave” in the 2018 elections, suggesting the Ruskies might even resort to “direct messing with the ballots.” Nance said that such meddling: “would be tantamount to setting the grounds for civil war. Really, to be quite honest.”Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Democratic Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill sparked a fierce backlash from a Democratic legislator in her home state after listing her as an example of a “crazy Democrat.” In a scathing series of tweets on Monday and Tuesday, Missouri Democratic state Sen.

Wow, just heard about this. Looks like Pres. Trump is pulling out all the stops. I hope this does not mean Hawley is slipping. Presently, the schedule is for the doors open at 6 pm, the President will speak @ 9 pm.

Speaking exclusively to Fox News on Monday, vulnerable incumbent Missouri Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill dropped the names of two high-profile colleagues, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, when asked to identify the "crazy Democrats" from whom her campaign has distanced itself in recent days. McCaskill said she wouldn't call the two "crazy," but noted they had disagreements with each other. **SNIP** When Baier asked if McCaskill had any "crazy" colleagues in the Senate, McCaskill referenced Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, considered a potential 2020 presidential contender. "Well, I would say this," McCaskill replied. "I would not call my colleagues crazy, but Elizabeth...

In politics, when a candidate is called a “golden boy” it’s usually not a compliment. More often than not, it means he has been elevated to a position he didn’t deserve, through help from party bigwigs or big donors. The press is primed to target such candidates. And when it is looking for flaws—the more embarrassing the better—it can usually find some. Republicans, far more than Democrats, are targets of this treatment because the media love to poke holes in Republican candidates. This brings us to Missouri’s Senate race. Missouri is a red state. President Trump won here by nearly...

Full Title: Claire McCaskill's husband invested in pro-veteran properties that tried to evict homeless vets over $233 owed rent Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill has championed herself as a supporter of veterans in the run-up to the Midterms, but her husband's past is coming back to haunt her again.

In the final stretch of a tight Senate race in increasingly red Missouri, Sen. Claire McCaskill turned against her own party in a new campaign radio ad that declares she is “not one of those crazy Democrats.” The unusual message has been hitting the airwaves in central Missouri for about a week, and it debuted as Republican challenger Josh Hawley’s internal campaign polls showed him taking a 7-percentage-point lead in a race that for months has been a dead heat.

Anyway, here we go. North Dakota, Cramer +16. This is Heidi Heitkamp. She’s in deep doo-doo. Deep doo. She blew it on the Kavanaugh vote, she then blew it in the Kavanaugh aftermath, and then she released the names of women who had reported they’d been sexually abused who wanted anonymity! I mean, she blew it big time. In Missouri, Josh Hawley +7 over Claire McCaskill. That’s above, +7 over Claire McCaskill. This is as of last night at 8:30. That’s outside the margin of error now. I know race that was tied two weeks ago.Even when it was tied...

Call it a highly biased opinion hit piece disguised as a news report in the October 19 Kansas City Star. In fact, your humble correspondent had to check the home page of that periodical to make sure it wasn't listed as "Opinion" but, no, it was listed under their "Latest News" section. I am referring to the article (really opinion hit piece) about the October 18 Senate debate in Missouri between incumbent Claire McCaskill and challenger Josh Hawley written by a reporter with a looooong history of over-the-top liberal bias, Melinda Henneberger. Her blatant bias becomes all too evident by the second paragraph...

ST. LOUIS — Joan Barry has been a member of the Missouri Democratic Party for 53 years. As a state legislator, she voted regularly for workers’ rights, health care, and programs for the poor. So when the party began writing a new platform after its crushing losses in 2016, Ms. Barry, a member of its state committee, did not think it was too much to ask for a plank that welcomed people like her — Democrats who oppose abortion. At first the party agreed and added it. Missouri’s Democratic senator, Claire McCaskill, even called Ms. Barry to praise her. But...

Sen. Claire McCaskill’s (D-MO) staff already admitted she is open to a semiautomatic rifle ban, and on Thursday night, McCaskill made clear that she, too, is coming after gun shows. She also called for other gun controls and maligned the NRA for standing against infringement of Second Amendment rights.
