WASHINGTON—The 2018 midterm elections officially kicked off this week, and Republicans have their work cut out for them to retain control of the House.
Democrats proved eager to participate this year in the nation’s first primary Tuesday in Texas. More than 1 million Texas Democrats cast ballots—the highest turnout since 2002 and nearly double the number from 2014.
WASHINGTON—A group of 107 House Republicans signed a letter Wednesday urging President Donald Trump to reconsider his planned tariffs on steel and aluminum. House Ways and Means Committee chairman Kevin Brady, R-Texas, and Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade chairman Dave Reichert, R-Wash., organized the opposition document requesting Trump target the tariffs at bad actors and not harm all U.S. trading partners.
