Good morning. I'm Anna Palmer. And I'm Jake Sherman. And welcome to The Daily Punch,

brought to you by Punch Bowl News. It's Wednesday, March 9th, 2022. Let's get into the mix. Here are your Washington headlines of the day. Number one, House Democrats head to Philly. Will they get it together? Number two, the latest on government funding. And number three, a new Herschel Walker ad featuring none other than Nikki Haley.

All right, Jake, let's get to it.

You and I are both heading to Philadelphia for the House Democratic retreat, but kind of a reset

moment if we're being honest for them.

Yeah, it should be at least.

I just want to note kind of here at the top of the DJ Jazzy Jeff,

Is going to be on the ones and twos 930 on Thursday night after a Punch Bowl news event

in which our managing editor, Heather Kagle, will be interviewing Hakeem Jeffries, the House Democratic

Caucus chair. Everybody at the retreat is invited to this event. If you have questions,

please email me, Heather, anybody at Punch Bowl News. But if you're at the Democratic Retreat,

we have an event that's part of the retreat. We're excited for that. Let's now stop talking. Wait for it. If you listen to this podcast, we're going to be doing a bonus

episode of it. So if you're not at the retreat, you can hear our Heather's conversation with

Jeffries and Jake and my intro later this week as a bonus episode that will be dropping.

Yeah, and I just want to say if you're at the retreat, we have some amazing swag.

I mean, I'm super excited for this swag.
