Summary

We have so much to unpack from last night's State of the Union. Up next, the Senate blocked the possibility of voting on a bill called the Women’s Health Protection Act. Meanwhile, the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly for the Emmett Till Antilynching Act. And finally, Beto O'Rourke won the Democratic nomination for governor in Texas primary election.
