This is half an hour. Hello, sorry to keep you all waiting. Before i begin, it is day 42 of the botched new york city primary, there is no Election Results and one congressional race. This as the New York Times notes, the deluge of 400,000 mailin ballots, previewing the challenges facing the nation as it looks towards conducting the november general election with mass mail invoicing. I would like to highlight trumps actions, which he detailed yesterday, he signed an executive order to make regulatory reforms allowing for greater access toward making it permanent, the Trump Administration has cut red tape allowing Teller Health services for other americans and seniors, 35 of beneficiaries took advantage of the reform.
