Democrats' Senate drive halted by GOP, but control teeters

WASHINGTON – Democrats had a disappointing night in the battle for Senate control, but it was too soon for Republicans to take a victory lap Wednesday, although they brushed back multiple challengers to protect their now teetering majority.Key races in North Carolina, Maine and Michigan remained undecided, and at least one in Georgia was headed to a January runoff.Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said President Donald Trump's campaign helped his GOP allies, but it's still to soon to declare victory as state election officials count ballots.“We're waiting — whether I'm going to be the majority leader or not,” McConnell said at a press conference in his home state of Kentucky.In a delicate pushback against Trump's own premature claims

COVID delay: New coronavirus relief slipping past election

WASHINGTON – Congress is past the point at which it can deliver more coronavirus relief before the election, with differences between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, her Senate Republican rivals and President Donald Trump proving insurmountable despite the glaring needs of the country.Trump’s GOP allies are reconvening the Senate this week to vote on a virus proposal, but it's a bill that failed once before, and that Trump himself now derides as too puny. The debate promises to bring a hefty dose of posturing and political gamesmanship, but little more.Even the architect of the Senate measure, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., isn’t claiming the vote will advance the ball.
