In today’s edition, senior congressional reporter Scott Wong sits down with House Speaker Mike Johnson as he barnstorms the country in support of congressional Republican candidates. Plus, senior political editor Mark Murray breaks down our latest NBC News poll, which shows how President Joe Biden is serving as a drag on Vice President Kamala Harris. I think a record number of Black and African American voters, Jewish voters, union voters. The majority could be won or lost in either of those two states, given how closely divided the House is.
