A rat in West Baltimore has become an unexpected media star, after running through a local Fox TV reporter's live shot as she discussed President Donald Trump labeling the city a "rat and rodent infested mess" in a recent Tweet.

They are now sounding the alarm and warning Democrats that winning the Senate in 2020 is an uphill battle.  And they're not wrong.
