plus on to the senate now for a big bipartisan breakthrough. a month scramble of meetings, breakdowns and near rebellions leads to 314 yes in the house on a deal to steer the united states around a debt default. from wall street to the whout, one of the most powerful men in corporate america doesn t say no to a future in politics. up first for us, critical new cnn report ing on a special counsel investigation evidence trail that we now know includes a record ing of donald trump admitting he kept a classified record when he left the white house. trump right now is on the campaign trail between iowa. a reminder of the unprecedented place we find ourselves. a state investigation sb n georgia and two tracks of the federal special counsel investigation. and yet, he is at the same time the front runner for the 2024 republican nomination. ask he vows to carry on his campaign no matter what prosecutors allege. this exclusive new cnn reporting is this. special counsel jack smith h
st street. i i don t think mike pence will do it that way. he has to find messages that make sense for him. it s not as combative. desantis is combative. i said at the top, when you listen to trump saying you can get it done like that, that ignores his own experience. a fact check here. this is ron desantis in new hampshire. he also said this yesterday in iowa. we have to end this culture of losing that s infected the republican party in recent years. we should have 55 republican senators right now had we not flubbed so many races over the last four or six years. most would take that as a swipe at trump, endorsing candidates in primaries that can t win. politico gets credit for catching this. just last year, ron desantis endorsed and campaigned for several of the people you see on
