Then, House Minority Whip Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA) shares her thoughts on the Democratic agenda ahead of the November midterm elections, the DNC’s 2024 election autopsy, and the affordability crisis. Plus, President Donald Trump said he postponed a signing ceremony for his administration’s much-anticipated executive order on AI, and reports have unveiled more details about OpenAI’s IPO filing.
