The more you talked to people yesterday who tried to understand what they were doing, i think the selloff may have been too far i spoke with ana gupte who was on with us, she had time to digest it.

Im Nora Odonnell with my colleagues gayle king and john dickerson. Well check in with jeff in just a moment. Were awaiting the house sergeant of arms to announce the president s entrance into the chamber, one of the important symbols on this symbolic night, one of the most traditional roles. White house aides have promised President Trumps speech will seek to unify, but what does that mean . They seem to be in a great mood, lots of handshakes and smiles on both sides of the aisle.
