Republican wins crucial U.S. Senate seat
|
|
In a major upset, Republican Scott Brown on Jan. 19 won the U.S. Senate seat long held by liberal Edward Kennedy, leaving President Barack Obama's health care overhaul in doubt and marring the end of his first year in office. Brown's defeat of once-favored Martha Coakley for the Massachusetts seat was a stunning embarrassment for the White House after Obama rushed to Boston Jan. 17 to try and save her candidacy. Brown will become the 41st Republican in the Senate, which could allow the party to block the president's health care plan. (AP)
