The bungled end to the hearing stunned an overflow room of people who had waited hours to address lawmakers, including some who said they had traveled for hours to speak against the measure known as House Bill 6. That Democrat was state Rep. Nicole Collier, the chairwoman of the Texas Legislative Black Caucus. โ€œAny delay is good," said Emily Eby, an attorney with the Texas Civil Rights Project who had traveled from Houston for the hearing.

In deep-red Kentucky, Amy McGrath has posted strong fundraising numbers against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. In Mississippi, Mike Espy reported raising $4 million in his rematch against Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith.

Graham's last stand? Senator leads Barrett court hearings

For Graham, the Republican Senate majority and Trump himself, the hearings three weeks before Election Day could be a last stand. But they're also a real-time test of whether that's enough to counter a jaw-dropping $57 million fundraising haul by Graham's Democratic opponent in the South Carolina race, Jaime Harrison. He once vowed to oppose any Supreme Court confirmation hearings in presidential election years. But the days leading up to the Barrett hearings were particularly challenging for Graham. Back then, Trump had called Graham a โ€œlightweightโ€ and a โ€œliberal,โ€ and famously made public the senator's cell phone number.

Sanders, Warren fight back in support of 'Medicare for All'

Over and over, Sanders and Warren insisted their plans to transform the nation's economy and health care system make up the core of a winning message. Sanders said Trump exploited racism and others said the president's rhetoric revived memories of the worst in the country's history, including slavery. But perhaps no issue illustrates the evolving divide within the Democratic Party more than health care.

Democrats face climate, immigration issues in Florida

Inslee, who has made climate change a focus of his campaign, visited the Everglades on Monday and planned Tuesday to stop in the Little Haiti neighborhood to talk about how climate change is exacerbating economic equality in that community. With the debates drawing focus to the state, Florida Democrats have made suggestions to presidential hopefuls about places they should visit and topics they should cover as they try to court Floridians in the coming months. Shaw said talking about how the candidates hope to mitigate the effects of climate change is a must. If youre in Florida and youre not talking about climate change, youre doing it wrong, said Shaw, who has endorsed South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg for president. Eskamani said she wants to hear candidates talk about their policies on abortion access, ending corporate welfare and addressing climate change.
