Summary
Washington is still reeling as the suspect in Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner scare makes a court appearance, fueling fresh scrutiny of event security and giving new urgency to President Donald Trump’s push for a White House ballroom. Jack Blanchard and Megan Messerly discuss how attention may shift fast with King Charles III arriving for a rare state visit at a moment of strained U.S.-U.K. relations. Plus on Capitol Hill, Speaker Mike Johnson heads into a punishing stretch as he tries to steer funding, surveillance authorities, and a farm bill through a razor-thin majority.
