Democratic Kentucky Sen. Morgan McGarvey is facing off against Stuart Ray in a race to represent the 3rd Congressional District, which includes Louisville.

Budget chair John Yarmuth says "so many things are changing right now in terms of the nature of work" but a solution may be three or four years away.

Democrats have brushed aside monthslong divisions and are approaching House passage of their expansive social and environment bill.

Democrats say they have sealed a deal to lower pharmaceutical drug costs for most older Americans as part of President Joe Biden’s sweeping $1.75 trillion domestic proposal.

John Yarmuth fears that performative partisanship is making governing impossible.

Many progressives have started lining up behind an emerging social and environment bill that’s neither as big nor as bold as they’d wanted.

So far, 12 Democrats have said they're leaving the House, signaling the challenges ahead for the party to retain the House.

The departures of Reps. David E. Price (D-N.C.) and Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) raise questions about whether veteran lawmakers are leaving because they fear power will return to the GOP.

The fundraising committee aiming to help Democrats maintain control of the House says it raised $106.5 million through the end of last month.

Nancy Pelosi and her top lieutenants aren't ruling out another reconciliation bill if it means fulfilling more of Biden's domestic agenda.

Yarmuth's announcement comes as state Republicans weigh whether to dilute the Democratic base in Louisville.

"We also have a Justice Department that may be supportive if we need to hold people in contempt," said Schiff, a member of the House panel investigating Jan. 6.

Democratic congressional leaders backed by the White House have announced they will push ahead with a vote to fund the government and suspend the debt limit.

Congressional Democrats face a daunting assignment.

A top House Democrat conceded that his party’s go-it-alone $3.5 trillion budget resolution is essentially a Democratic wish list of social programs and spending.

All pandemic aid programs for those experiencing joblessness are slated to expire at the federal level in two weeks.

Senate Republicans have rejected an effort to begin debate on a bipartisan infrastructure deal that senators brokered with President Joe Biden.

Any Democrat could sink Biden's infrastructure aspirations, and some are flexing their muscles

Top congressional Democrats are trying to craft legislation financing President Joe Biden’s multitrillion-dollar agenda of bolstering the economy and helping families.

In a crucial moment for Democrats, party leaders are hunting for a sweet spot that would satisfy their rival moderate and progressive wings on legislation to finance President Joe Biden’s multitrillion-dollar agenda of bolstering the economy and helping families. With virtually no votes to spare and saber rattling by both Democratic factions, leaders are finding their search for middle ground arduous — even though the president's push for infrastructure projects and family-centered initiatives is his top domestic priority. With Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., winning the spotlight this year for pulling his party rightward by issuing demands on crucial issues, plenty of centrists and liberals are now using that same playbook.

The House will vote on the 5-year INVEST in America Act on Thursday, as President Biden promotes his infrastructure plans.

Democratic leaders are laying the groundwork for a go-it-alone approach on President Joe Biden's big jobs and families infrastructure plan even as the White House continues negotiating with Republicans on a scaled-back $1 trillion proposal.

As bipartisan negotiations continue, Democrats are also preparing to pass legislation without any Republican votes.

Scott Applewhite)WASHINGTON – Tough as it was for Democrats, passing President Joe Biden’s sweeping $1.9 trillion COVID-19 rescue package into law was the easy part. Biden’s signing of the American Rescue Plan on Thursday marks a milestone for his administration and for Democrats who have command of the House, Senate and White House for the first time in a decade. If Senate Republicans start blocking the legislation, Democrats are prepared to force them into long days and nights of dramatic floor filibusters, like the movie version in “Mr. The filibuster gives the minority enormous ability to halt action, and Senate Democrats used it plenty of times when they were out of power. Still, Biden's infrastructure package may be one bill that could win over Republican support.

Ad“Help is here,” Biden tweeted moments after the roll call, which ended with applause from Democratic lawmakers. The measure addresses Democrats’ campaign promises and Biden’s top initial priority of easing a one-two punch that first hit the country a year ago. According to a CNN poll released Wednesday, the relief bill is backed by 61% of Americans, including nearly all Democrats, 58% of independents and 26% of Republicans. On the relief bill, progressives had to swallow big concessions to solidify moderate support.

The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan is almost law — meaning additional unemployment benefits for millions of workers should soon be on the way. The Covid relief bill, passed Saturday by the Senate, extends jobless benefits through Labor Day and raises them by $300 a week. The issue is time-sensitive — millions of unemployed workers would lose their benefits after March 14 without another extension. "The American Rescue Plan will soon be signed into law and help will be on the way," Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Ky., chair of the House Budget Committee, said Tuesday. Here's what unemployed workers need to know about the legislation.

WASHINGTON – House Democrats on Wednesday proposed a bill to curb presidential abuses, a pitch to voters weeks ahead of Election Day as they try to defeat President Donald Trump, capture the Senate from Republicans and keep their House majority. Each of the bill’s provisions is a response to actions by Trump or his administration that Democrats see as abuses of presidential power. It builds on an elections and ethics reform package the House passed soon after Democrats reclaimed the majority in 2019. Congress has yet to send to the president any legislation to try to curb foreign election interference after Russia meddled on several fronts in the 2016 presidential contest. “The degradation of our democracy over the past 3 1/2 years is not the work of the president alone,'' Schiff said.
