In the past week, the U.S. saw a pair of New Year’s Day attacks in Nevada and Louisiana that took multiple lives and injured dozens, and the 119th Congress kicked off with a packed first day.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) was reelected to the highest post in the lower chamber in a lengthy first-round vote Friday afternoon. The Senate gavelled in on Friday and was less contentious as Vice President Harris swore in new chamber members. The new Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) made a vow, contending he would make sure to preserve the Senate filibuster. The body’s oldest and longest-serving senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) was sworn in as president pro tempore.
These topics are likely to be discussed on today’s Sunday shows.
Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) is set to appear on NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday,” while President-elect Trump’s incoming “border czar” Tom Homan is slated to appear on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” Homan will likely discuss the Trump administration’s plans for handling the U.S.-Mexico border.
