Illinois Democratic Senator Dick Durbin is finishing up a long and illustrious career in DC. Congressional reporter Paul Kane chats with the retiring senator – including his observations on how Congress has changed since he was first elected to the Senate and the House, his long pursuit of immigration reform and what he’ll miss about Washington.

Whether that’s in the majority or the minority, we’ll find out in a few short weeks.

It’s October, which means the midterm election is just weeks away. Our intrepid Washington Sun Cast reporters take a look at the fight for control of the House and Senate.

We’re about a month out from the midterm elections. Washington Sun reporters Oriana González, Al Weaver and Paul Kane are taking a step back to look at where things stand in the race to control the House and Senate.
Today, reporter Kadia Goba speaks with one of the giants of the Democratic Party: South Carolina congressman Jim Clyburn.

He talks about his confidence in Democrats’ ability to turn out the vote this midterm election, South Carolina’s status as the first Democratic primary state and what makes a good fish fry.
