Morning everyone. Honored to be joined today by Whip Katherine Clark and caucus chair Pete Aguilar as we prepare to depart for the August district work period.

My colleague Ryan Nobles gets us started tonight. Tonight, a major victory for the Donald Trump agenda. The motion is adopted. The House passing his multi-trillion dollar ...

Welcome to Meet the Press Now. I'm Kelly O'Donnell in Washington, where it's all hands on deck as the president and House Speaker Mike Johnson try to deliver the votes to get his signature domestic legislation passed.
