STATE HOUSE — While Sen. Elizabeth Warren may be able to pull left-leaning voters to the polls for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, a ticket mate who could provide "balance" and help Clinton win a swing state is more likely, according to former Congressman Marty Meehan.
During a June 9 interview on Boston Herald Radio, Meehan, who served 14 years in Congress and is now president of the University of Massachusetts, said presidential nominees often seek in running mates an ability to help rack up votes in battleground states.
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Paul Ryan Tuesday unveiled the third installment of his "agenda project," with a sweeping 57-page plan to roll back regulations on energy and the environment, labor issues and the financial services industry.
The plan commissioned by a task force named by Ryan, R-Wis., is largely a repackaging of GOP agenda items that have failed to advance through the Senate and often been met with veto threats by President Barack Obama.
