that. this morning, lots going on. all eyes on the high-stakes meeting at the fed as the economists worry a recession is already here. hey, everybody. good to see you on this tuesday morning. we have a busy washington this morning. the biden administration desperate for legislative wins. might be on the cusp of several. that is, of course, if congress can get it all done before the summer recess. democrats trying to get major bills across that finish line. you have a computer chips package. and then a bill protecting same-sex and interracial marnls and a major development in the justice department s investigation into january 6. a source saying mark shore appeared before a federal grand jury late last week. let s talk with the ladies panel. ali vitale, jackie lee and a msnbc contributor. thank you for joining us on this. ali, as i talk about legislative possible wins for the biden administration and the american people talk about what that could look like and mean. report
that stage. i spoke to a lot of republican operatives who said that they hoped that he would still attend. they were holding out hope, even though there was this reporting that he was not going to attend and even hours before he posted we heard from the rnc chairwoman, take a listen to what she said. i m still holding out hope that president trump will come. i think it s so important that the american people hear from all the candidates. reporter: now, doesn t seem like that s going to happen, but we do know there are going to be several other candidates up on that stage, chris christie, tim scott, mike pence. we have talked to a number of these political advisers for these campaigns who said that they were really preparing for both scenarios. trump on stage and trump not on stage. as you said, share ration a lot of this is how to seize some of the spotlight back in this race. how to try and get traction. how to differentiate themselves from the former president. it will be interes
