Voters are more concerned with inflation, according to Democrats in competitive races who are trying to gauge how the hearings will affect November's midterms.

The intra-party battle is not the result Democrats envisioned for the once-a-decade redistricting in a state where they control the governor’s mansion and the Legislature. After a successful legal challenge from Republicans produced new court-drawn congressional maps, Democrats were left with tougher battles against Republicans and among themselves. The lines of Maloney’s district, the 18th, were also changed under the court’s rewrite, cutting his home in Cold Spring into the reconfigured 17th District. He quickly declared he would run in the 17th, a move that angered some other New York Democrats who saw it as unfair to Jones, who represents that district now. Before they were struck down by a state court, Congressional district maps initially drawn by the state Legislature would have given Democrats a strong majority in 22 of 26 congressional districts.

Two of New York’s longest-serving members of Congress have turned from allies to rivals after a court redrew the state’s congressional maps.

A court-ordered redistricting map has created a cross-town battle that has never happened: One House committee chair, Jerrold Nadler of New York's Upper West Side, is set to face off against Manhattan's other House committee chair, Carolyn B. Maloney of the Upper East Side.

Democrats became newly worried this month as favorable redistricting maps in Florida and New York were struck down and replaced with district lines that will likely make it even more difficult to keep their already slim majority in the House.

They're passing blame around within the delegation and are aggravated with the man who redrew the state's congressional lines.

A court-appointed expert released a draft of new congressional maps for New York that are more favorable to Republicans than the original gerrymandered political maps drawn by Democrats.

Republicans need a net gain of just five seats to retake the House majority.

The yearly conference, which was in-person for the first time since the pandemic began two years ago, began later than expected because of last-minute drama in Washington.

Republicans believe COVID-19 policies largely backed by Democrats are causing a schism among parents of school-age children and that will help the GOP win elections this year up and down the ballot.

The infusion marks “the largest-ever midterm cash transfer” in the party’s history, Democrats said.

Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney said he tested positive Tuesday morning for COVID-19. “It is the best thing we can do to protect ourselves and our communities.”This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19. While I am experiencing minor cold-like symptoms, I’m grateful to be fully vaccinated and boosted, which is protecting me from more severe illness. Since the start of the pandemic, several lawmakers have tested positive for COVID-19, including Reps. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md. Over 312 million COVID-19 cases have been reported worldwide, resulting in 5.5 million deaths, according to the university.

This time last year, the Republican Party was hitting bottom.

It was 2015 when Congress last approved a major renewal of federal highway and other transportation programs.

“Now is the time to turn the corner,” said New York Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, Democratic Congressional Committee chairman. Republican Glenn Youngkin won Virginia's governorship in an upset last week, and his party took control of the state House. That happened after Youngkin's Democratic opponent, Terry McAuliffe, suggested in vain that Democrats should act more quickly to pass the infrastructure bill. “If we do not support the human infrastructure, which is truly what’s driving this country, we aren’t supporting infrastructure," she said. In Minnesota, Rep. Angie Craig, a Democrat representing swing suburbs outside the Twin Cities, described the infrastructure plan as equally a jobs and public projects plan.

Congressional Democrats who are facing potentially tough reelection fights next year are crowing about long-neglected public works projects set to spring to life thanks to the new infrastructure package.

Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney of New York tried to goad the former president in an MSNBC interview.

President Joe Biden’s “build back better” agenda is poised to be the most far-reaching federal investment since FDR’s New Deal or LBJ’s Great Society.

Few Democrats are surprised to see Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom swat down a Republican-driven recall campaign in bright-blue California.

The campaign organization aiming to maintain Democratic control of the House in the 2022 midterm races raised $10 million last month.

Several House Democrats have called on House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy to apologize to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi or resign after audio surfaced of him saying at a fundraiser over the weekend that it would be “hard not to hit her” with a gavel if he’s sworn in as speaker after the 2022 midterm elections.

Republicans need to gain just five seats in next year's midterm elections to take control of the U.S. House. It's New York Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney's job to make sure that doesn't happen.

The committee charged with helping Republicans wrest control of the House next year raised $45.4 million over the last three months, a record quarterly haul during a year without a national election.

A sharp increase in Millennial and Generation Z voters was a major factor in President Joe Biden’s 2020 election success, according to a new study from a Democratic analytics firm.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — If politics were the movies, this past week brought the premiere of another sequel from a familiar film franchise — “Charlie Crist the Candidate: Part IX.” As Crist makes another run for Florida governor, one question is whether he can still attract an audience. Or will the latest version turn into a box office flop? He’s unquestionably a top-tier candidate — and not ...

By Jill RichardsonConspiracy theories like QAnon are outlandish, dangerous, and often absurd. But in a world where your parents’ income didn’t affect your shot at a college education, students from the poorest half of the state would account for, well, half of the freshman class. How does that relate to conspiracy theories? The constant refrain I hear is, “If they knew what I knew, they’d believe what I believe.” That’s absolutely not true. Perhaps learning to understand why people fall prey to conspiracy theories can help us learn how to reduce people’s susceptibility to them.

The votes also suggest that Washington Republicans are unable, or unwilling, to purge far-right radicals from their party, despite some GOP leaders' best wishes. And whether Washington Republicans like it or not, those who think like Greene make up a significant portion of the party's base. AdGiddy Democrats celebrated the obvious perils of their rivals' political dilemma, particularly after all but 11 House Republicans voted to defend Greene's committee assignments on Thursday. AdBut it was the House Republicans' refusal to distance themselves from Greene that threatened to haunt the party for the foreseeable future. Republican strategist and former White House aide Ari Fleischer was among the optimists.

The party's House majority will be as meager as 222-213 next year, the tightest partisan gap in two decades. Maloney worked on Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 presidential campaign and joined the White House after Clinton's 1996 reelection. “Those of us in the LGBT community have seen the system work, and it has worked because we worked,” Maloney said. In 2018 he sought the House campaign committee chairmanship but withdrew when he was hospitalized for an infection. Farrell runs a consulting firm that he says was blacklisted by the campaign committee under Bustos after it helped candidates challenging Democratic incumbents.

Maloney will lead the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which helps recruit House candidates, raises money and provides campaign guidance. The 2022 election looms as a difficult one for House Democrats. Also Thursday, Democrats elected Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., to chair the House Appropriations Committee. At the Agriculture panel, Scott replaces Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., who lost his House reelection after 15 House terms. Democrats went into November’s elections with a 232-197 House majority, along with an independent and five vacancies.

Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., became the latest members of Congress to test positive for the virus that has killed more than 205,000 Americans. All three attended the White House Rose Garden introduction Saturday of Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett. Nationally and on Capitol Hill, there are no comprehensive plans requiring testing or wearing masks. House members can vote by proxy through their colleagues, to cut down on the number of people milling around. Lee, Tillis and other Republican members of the panel were among those who attended the Rose Garden event on Saturday.

WASHINGTON The House Foreign Affairs Committee has subpoenaed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for documents he turned over to a Senate panel that is investigating Hunter Biden, a son of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. The committee says Pompeo had delivered more than 16,000 pages of records to the Senate but refused to send the same materials to the Democrat-led House. The subpoena represents another escalation in an election-year battle between Democrats and the GOP Senate committees investigating Hunter Biden. Democrats have criticized Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chair Ron Johnson, R-Wis., in particular for his probe of Hunter Biden and the gas company Burisma. There is no evidence of wrongdoing by the Bidens, and Hunter Biden has denied using his influence with his father to aid Burisma.
