CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Turning up the heat, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders tangled repeatedly in Sunday night's Democratic presidential debate over who's tougher on gun control and Wall Street and how to steer the future of health care in America.

BOSTON – Although a Republican holds the state's top public office, with barely more than 1-in-10 state voters registered as Republicans, the party has for years faced daunting odds in attempting to gain seats at both the congressional and local level.
