Kimberly Mata-Rubio -- mother of victim Alexandria "Lexi" Rubio who was killed in the Robb Elementary School massacre last year -- announced Thursday she is running for mayor of the community.

Spain is in political disarray after elections left no party with a clear path to forming a government MADRID -- Spaniards woke up Monday to find their country in political disarray after a general election a day earlier left no party with a clear path to forming a government.

For now, however, they're relying on little more than hope and prayers. Look no further than Mike Pence, Trump's former vice president, who repeatedly appealed to voters' faith this week as he tried to resurrect his anemic presidential campaign while courting a few dozen voters in a former state lawmaker's backyard. “I truly do believe that different times call for different leadership,” Pence told his modest crowd. “I know you all are going to do your job, because I have faith. I have faith in the American people.” More than a dozen high-profile Republican
