And thank you for joining us for an abbreviated edition of Meet the Press Now. I'm Ryan Nobles,

0:07.3

and we're going to talk more about the developments over the past 24 hours in the 2024 election.

0:13.1

Joining me now from West Palm Beach is NBC's Vaughn Hilliard, who's of course covering the now president-elect Donald Trump.

0:19.6

Monica Elba has the latest from the Harris campaign. And with me on set here in New York is NBC News, Capitol Hill, of course, covering the now president-elect Donald Trump. Monica Elba has the latest from the Harris campaign.
