BOSTON – Hillary Clinton gained Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey's backing Wednesday, less than 24 hours after her winning performance in the first Democratic presidential debate.
"Hillary has spent her career fighting for American families and working to ensure they can achieve their American Dream," Markey said in a statement posted on his website late Wednesday. "She understands the challenges facing our nation – college affordability, income inequality, access to affordable health care – and has real plans for how to address them."
WASHINGTON (AP) — Every day another Republican lawmaker seems to wake up and decide that he — and in at least one case, she — might make a pretty good speaker of the House.
The profusion of potential candidates, now approaching double digits, is happening even with all attention focused on Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, the former GOP vice presidential nominee widely seen as the best person for the job.
