Charlie Baker in 2010 tapped an openly gay state senator from Wakefield as his running mate, and though they lost, Baker now says that it makes him "so happy" to know that it was his fault, and not prejudice against Richard Tisei.
U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-North Dakota) announced Thursday that she's going to vote no on U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, leaving five undecided senators with Kavanaugh still two short of the number he needs for confirmation.
Heitkamp had been considered a possible yes vote since she is running for re-election in a state that President Donald Trump won 64-28 in 2016.
