Hello there I'm Chuck Todd. I just stepped off the Meet the Press Set where I interviewed

Senators Joe Manchin. West Virginia, Mike rounds in South Dakota, talked to Timothy

Palatore, former Trump attorney.

I also made little news myself.

I'll talk about that in a minute or two.

But the substance of the show, we talked about the death ceiling

breakthrough, a broker this past week by President Biden

and Kevin McCarthy. Also we talked

about all these presidential candidates still getting in this race.

Republican Field continues to grow. Three more candidates coming this

week, Chris Christie, Mike, Doug Bergam.

And then there's the apparently increasing chatter

that something may be afoot

with the special counsel's grand jury convening again this week?

Is it time for charges?

Is the open question here?

So to break this down, I'm here with my great friend

and the NBC news chief Washington correspondent, Andrew Andrew Mitchell and I know we want to talk about

the announcement I made at the end of the show. Indeed because Chuck you announced at the end of the show that at the end of the

summer you're going to turn over the

the microphone, the gavel,

however you want to call it, right?
