Summary

While Republicans in both the House and Senate seem to back President Trump's agenda, getting it passed through Congress remains challenging. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is seeking support as the GOP aims to pass the "One Big Beautiful Bill," which includes the president's top priorities, such as national defense at the border and spending cuts. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram discusses the urgency of passing this bill, the special elections this past week in Florida, and Senator Cory Booker's (D-NJ) marathon 25-hour speech, the longest in Senate history. Last November, Republicans flipped four senate seats, reclaiming control of the chamber. Among those victories is Pennsylvania Senator Dave McCormick, who defeated four-term incumbent Bob Casey (D-PA). His new book, co-authored by his wife Dina Powell-McCormick,  Who Believed in You: How Purposeful Mentorship Changes the World, discusses the importance of mentorship in one's life. Senator McCormick joins to discuss featured stories in the book and what compelled him to write it.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
