WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton, seeking a governing Democratic coalition if she wins the White House, is pumping millions of dollars into key battleground states at the heart of her presidential map and her party's quest to regain control of the Senate.
The Democratic National Committee and state parties are spending about $2 million initially to build coordinated campaigns in eight battleground states with competitive Senate races, including New Hampshire. The money is being raised by Clinton's campaign through her Hillary Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee that allows Clinton to raise large checks of more than $350,000 from wealthy donors.
BOSTON – Saddened and "shocked" to learn that his tourism chief had been indicted for extortion Thursday morning, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh praised the top city official, who he said would remain on paid leave.
"I think when you go out and ask people, anybody, they'll say great things about the man, about his job performance, and he's a workaholic, and again this is a very sad situation and an unfortunate situation," Walsh told reporters Thursday afternoon.
