Johnson, one of the so-called Tennessee 3, will face Blackburn in U.S. Senate race

Friday, 02 August 2024 22:18

Democratic state Rep. Gloria Johnson, who was catapulted onto the national stage as a member of the so-called Tennessee Three after her Republican colleagues in the statehouse tried to expel her and two others, will face U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn for one of Tennessee’s two U.S. Senate seats. Blackburn and Johnson secured the Republican and Democratic nominations in Thursday’s primary.

Johnson parlayed the attention that she and state Reps. Justin Jones and Justin J. Pearson captured into her campaign to win the nomination and face Blackburn, who was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2018.

Some analysts say Tennessee’s Democratic enthusiasm over Vice President Kamala Harris (Tennessee delegates to the Democratic National Convention were among the first in the nation to support Harris) coupled with growing disapproval of the state’s Republican supermajority, might bolster Johnson’s campaign.

Wednesday, 24 July 2024 22:37

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) proudly brandished a sign calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “war criminal” as he addressed Congress on Wednesday.

The opposite side of her sign read: “Guilty of Genocide.”

In his speech, Netanyahu lauded Israel’s war on Gaza, thanked both Biden and Trump for their support of Israel, condemned the assassination attempt on Trump and slammed pro-Palestine protesters.

Tlaib is the only Palestinian American in Congress. In addition to her protest, Tlaib put out a strongly worded statement on Tuesday ahead of Netanyahu’s speech, also calling him a “war criminal.”

Tuesday, 23 July 2024 22:13

Bob Memendez resigns U.S. Senator Bob Menendez submitted his resignation on Tuesday in the aftermath of his conviction on corruption charges including bribery and acting as an agent for Egypt's government, bowing to pressure from fellow Democrats to give up the job.

"I will be resigning from my office as the United States Senator from New Jersey, effective on the close of business on Aug. 20, 2024," Menendez's letter, which was seen by Reuters, said.

"While I fully intend to appeal the jury's verdict, all the way and including to the Supreme Court, I do not want the Senate to be involved in a lengthy process that will detract from its important work," the letter added.

Democratic New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy will appoint a replacement for Menendez, who has represented New Jersey in the Senate since 2006 and served as chairman of the influential Foreign Relations Committee before giving up that post after being charged last year.

Monday, 22 July 2024 21:31

The leader of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee will preside over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress on Wednesday, Senate aides said, with Vice President Kamala Harris scheduled to be traveling outside Washington.

The vice president, who serves as president of the Senate, was scheduled to be in Indiana on Wednesday.

Senator Ben Cardin, the committee’s Democratic chairperson, will be presiding, an aide said on Monday. An aide to Democratic Senator Patty Murray, who as president pro tempore normally would preside in the absence of Harris, said she was not attending. Aides to Murray did not immediately respond when asked why she wasn’t attending.

Some members of Congress are expected to skip the address. Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, said Netanyahu should not be welcomed into Congress and in a statement harshly criticized his “war machine.”

Tuesday, 16 July 2024 13:27

U.S. Senator Bob Menendez was convicted on Tuesday on all 16 criminal counts he faced at his corruption trial by a jury in Manhattan federal court, completing the once-powerful New Jersey Democrat's dramatic downfall.

The jury deliberated for more than 12 hours over three days before reaching a verdict in a trial that had taken nine weeks. Menendez, 70, had pleaded not guilty to the charges, which included bribery, acting as a foreign agent and obstructing justice.

The trial centered on what federal prosecutors called several overlapping bribery schemes in which the senator and his wife Nadine Menendez accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, gold bars and car and mortgage payments from three businessmen who wanted his help.
