| 0:44.6 | Bull News. It is Tuesday, May 28th, 2024. Let's get into the mix. Here are your Washington headlines |
| 0:50.7 | of the day. Number one, Senate Republicans tell us they'll keep the filibuster. |
| 0:55.1 | Number two, the Gonzalez-Herrera primary is today, and number three, Larry Hogan's new ad. |
