Debates are a tradition in American politics. But in this year's midterms, there are fewer events where candidates share a stage.

Over seven decades, the late queen met with 13 of the last 14 American presidents. Such moments highlight the close friendship between the U.S. and Britain, but there was also occasional awkwardness.

Democrats scored a notable win last night in Alaska, defeating former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin in the process.

Trump-endorsed candidates have done well in key party primaries so far, but they may prove to be too extreme when they come before the general electorate this fall.

Democratic groups are running ads designed to boost more extreme or more pro-Trump candidates in hopes of getting a Republican nominee who — in theory — would be easier to beat in the primaries.

Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman's expected return to the campaign trail comes as issues such as abortion rights and gun violence have taken on a new intensity.

Pennsylvania's Senate race has changed on the Democratic side. John Fetterman was sidelined after a stroke, the Supreme Court overturned Roe and the Jan. 6 hearings affected voters' perceptions.

Elizabeth Shuler, the first woman ever elected president of the labor federation, is pledging a massive organizing drive over the next decade, with a goal of adding 1 million new union members.

Republican voters — even those who maintain Donald Trump was a great president — are not marching in lockstep with him. Many are instead bucking his preferred GOP candidates.

Five states hold primaries Tuesday, with Senate races in Pennsylvania and North Carolina getting top billing.

Five states hold primaries Tuesday. The top race is in Pennsylvania, where the GOP Senate primary will be another test of Trump's influence, while Democratic voters seem to favor John Fetterman.

Pennsylvania Senate candidates were out on the campaign trail over the weekend ahead of the key state's primaries on Tuesday. The Republican side has emerged as a three-way race.

In Ohio, the field is set for what will be one of the most closely watched U.S. Senate races. On the Republican side, venture capitalist and author J.D. Vance will face Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan.

Political primary season is beginning in earnest, as voters head to the polls in Ohio and Indiana. The marquee races are in Ohio, led by that state's open U.S. Senate seat.

For the state's open U.S. Senate seat, the two top Republican contenders are David McCormick and Mehmet Oz. And, as in so many GOP races this year, there's another major player — Donald Trump.

Back in 2001, Vladimir Putin was seeking respect from world leaders while pledging a new openness in Russia. That's what brought him to tiny Crawford, Texas, at the invite of President George W. Bush.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine makes it hard to remember that decades ago, Vladimir Putin was on a charm offensive with the West. One stop was Crawford, Texas, with then President George W. Bush.

The lack of a Trump endorsement hasn't stopped individual Republican candidates from selling themselves to voters as the most Trump-like in the primary.

Mo Brooks' Republican Senate campaign has been struggling, and now the former president has pulled his endorsement, citing a dispute over the 2020 election.
