Topic: 2014 elections

FILE - This June 19, 2014 file photo shows House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., with Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., left, and Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, right, on Capitol Hill in Washington just after McCarthy was voted new majority leader, replacing Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., who was defeated in the primary election. This year, Congress logged a confidence rating of 7 percent, the lowest Gallup has measured for any institution, ever. People talk about throwing the bums out, but voters keep sending the same bunch back in. This November, when Republicans and Democrats face off in what looks to be a dramatic midterm election, the vast majority of current lawmakers are sitting snugly in their seats. (AP Photo/J.
