Menendez, who has held New Jersey's U.S. Senate seat for nearly two decades, has said he would consider running in the general election as an independent if acquitted.

Lt. Gov. Austin Davis said the difference between Trump and Biden is stark, calling the former president a “disaster for Black America.”

In a state like Pa., where the last two presidential elections have been decided by about one percentage point, a "small effect can change the result,” said one policy expert.

The prospect of Sen. Bob Menendez's seat being open has already had cascading effects in the state.

Trump and his campaign had been preparing for a guilty verdict for days, even as they held out hope for a hung jury.

As Andy Kim campaigns for Bob Menendez’s U.S. Senate seat, five Democrats and four Republicans are competing for Kim’s U.S. House seat.

The judge set sentencing for July 11, just four days before the scheduled start of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

Leading strategists in both parties believe that Trump still remains well-positioned to defeat Biden, even as he now faces the prospect of a prison sentence.

Even if he is elected president again, Trump will not be able to pardon himself of state charges in New York.

Biden and Harris were joined by Black elected leaders, including Mayor Cherelle Parker, Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, as they made their case to voters.

As City Council negotiates a budget with Mayor Parker, some council members and advocates seek more funding that directly impacts working-class Black and brown Philadelphians.

The Republican Senate candidate and the former secretary of education during the Trump administration discussed education, Title IX and “woke ideology.”

Democrat Eugene DePasquale and Republican Dave Sunday each spent more than $300,000 to fight contested primaries. Both campaigns are now rebuilding their cash reserves.

Recommendations could include payments, social services, and political reforms.

Turning out Black voters could prove pivotal for Biden's chances in what are expected to be among the most closely contested states, including Pa.
