i like the no tie look. i see you re adopting my style. i appreciate it. i m old enough to be your dad. i ve been wearing tieless shirts that s true. but my dad is old enough to be your dad. so we have the nice linear thing going on. it is incredibly tight. who do you think has the edge heading into this election? it s really close. the one thing that s clear, glen youngkin has the momentum. terry mcauliffe led by 5 points. it was down to 3 and now it is within the margin of error. in a state that donald trump lost by 10 points, a republican has a good shot of winning. no bueno for democrats. how much of this has tad with biden and his slipping numbers. la lot. he had a plus 1 point popularity

we are not close to a deal. there is no deal. no deal publicly, no deal privately. no deal. 11 days until the august 2nd deadline to raise the debt ceiling. right now no one can predict all all this will end. the senate is about to vote on cut, cap and balance this morning, but the republican plan will most likely fail. and in just about an hour, president obama will talk about the debt at a town hall meeting at the university of maryland. let s start the conversation today with mike at the white house and kelly o donnell on capitol hill. i notice that it s mike that s out in the heat. let s start with you. put up the list of symptoms again for mike. what was that about lightweight clothing and dark-colored clothing? yeah. somehow you didn t get the no tie on friday thing. let s start with all these reports that the president says obama and the speaker, john boehner, no deal. what is going on then? you know, chris, it s one of
