Missouri's Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill is making a bid for a third term in a state that's trended increasingly red in recent years, setting up a nationally watched showdown that could be pivotal to party control of the Senate. After President Donald Trump won Missouri in 2016 by about 19 percentage points, McCaskill's seat was immediately seen as prime for picking up by the Republicans.
A coalition of nonprofit groups that has registered more than 87,000 new Missouri voters - most of them black residents - says it is not working for Sen. Claire McCaskill, but its effort could help her campaign against Republican challenger Josh Hawley.
The idiosyncrasy affected a relatively small number of people but created problems and red tape when they voted, paid taxes - even when they died. U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill learned about the quirk last year and began inquiries to the U.S. Postal Service.
President Donald Trump has issued an ominous warning about the Justice Department and the FBI, promising further firings to get rid of a "lingering stench" following reports that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein discussed secretly recording the president . Trump, speaking at a rally in Missouri Friday, did not explicitly mention the Rosenstein furor, which was first reported by The New York Times and confirmed by The Associated Press.

The U.S. Coast Guard was preparing on Monday morning to recover the "duck boat" that sank beneath storm-whipped waves in a Missouri lake last week, drowning 17 people in one of the deadliest tourist accidents in the United States in years. After raising the World War Two-style amphibious landing craft from Table Rock Lake outside the popular vacation town of Branson, the Coast Guard said, it will hand boat over to federal investigators.
Today, when the U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on a bill to set up a federal-level 100th anniversary commission for Route 66, two Midwestern states also are poised to set up their commissions to mark the road's centennial in 2026. Under legislation signed by then-Gov. Eric Greitens, Missouri is set to form an 18-member commission to plan and sponsor a centennial observance in 2026 for the Mother Road, which stretches 2,400 miles from Chicago to Los Angeles.
A Missouri Republican is warning voters that "our way of life is at risk" in a new television ad that seizes on the Supreme Court vacancy to mobilize voters against Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill. The ad campaign, among the first of its kind in the fight for control of Congress this fall, underscores the immediate political impact of the Supreme Court nomination debate.
St. Louis prosecutors on Friday charged Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens with a felony for using a charity donor list for his 2016 political campaign, adding to the first-term governor's legal woes. The charge of tampering with computer data is in addition to an earlier charge alleging Greitens took and transmitted a nonconsensual photo of a partially nude woman with whom he had an extramarital affair in 2015.
He is one of the Republican Party's most-prized recruits, a young U.S. Senate candidate with an outsider resume and a populist message designed to appeal equally to farmers, suburban moms and the national GOP's moneyed elite. Hawley, who launched a Republican Senate bid in Missouri less than a year after being elected state attorney general, won't say whether he considers the Republican president a role model.
Sen. Claire McCaskill said she has no regrets about her vote against the tax cut bill or calling it mere "scraps" for American families, striking a defiant stance as President Trump visits Missouri on Wednesday to boost her likely Republican opponent in November's election. The $1.5 trillion tax cuts and the rest of president's agenda loom large in a race where the two-term incumbent Democrat is fighting to hold on to her Senate seat in a state Mr. Trump won by more than 18 points in 2016.

Normally this is a winning election for the party not in the White House but the Democrats have no message and are looking really sad - almost as sad as election night 2016. Democrats stand for higher taxes, open borders, DACA illegal aliens over Americans , and they did nothing to support the booming economy.
