Former Democratic Senator Kay Hagan of North Carolina dies at age 66

- Former U.S. Senator Kay Hagan, a North Carolina Democrat who defeated a prominent Republican incumbent in 2008 and helped secure approval of the Obamacare healthcare law, died on Monday at age 66, her family said in a statement to local media.

“We are heartbroken to share that Kay left us unexpectedly this morning,” her family said in a statement to Reuters and other media. Hagan defeated Republican Senator Elizabeth Dole in the 2008 election, in which Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama won the Southern state in a reversal of years of losses there by Democrats. Dole, a former Cabinet secretary, is the wife of former U.S. senator and 1996 Republican presidential nominee Bob Dole.

The same year, Hagan became one of only five Democrats in the Senate to vote against a bill to allow immigrants who entered the United States as children without authorization to legally remain in the country. The bill, known as the DREAM Act, was defeated.

Wow Hell must be SRO

Democrats who cares.

🙏🙏

A model democrat....

The President so considered to not be damaging that he..released it.
