ADEL, Iowa (AP) — Hillary Clinton pressed the Democratic National Committee on Wednesday to add a presidential debate before next month's New Hampshire primary, seeking another high-profile exchange with rival Bernie Sanders.
The push by Clinton for more debates — and Sanders' resistance to adding another forum — underscores his strength in Iowa and New Hampshire and the heightened concern within Clinton's team that she could lose both of the first early voting states.
BOSTON – Long-time refugee and immigration advocate Seth Moulton, the sixth district Democratic congressman from Salem, will open a discussion on the topic Thursday with a panel of experts dealing with the region's response to Mideast refugee crisis.
A Marine Corps combat veteran who served in Iraq, Moulton has long supported refugees from the region, facing off with Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker in November over whether to block additional Syrian refugees from coming to the state until screening procedures could be tightened. Baker, a Republican, raised security concerns following the Nov. 13 terrorist attacks in Paris, where one of the perpetrators appeared to be a Syrian refugee.
