Then Bevin points to a cut-out of McConnell wearing Duke jersey No. 32. “Even if your team is…already out of the tournament,” Bevin says. That’s a reference to the McConnell campaign’s ad that mistakenly showed [...]

WASHINGTON – Saying that the relationship between the Food and Drug Administration and the pharmaceutical industry “requires closer inspection,” Rep.
