Monday Rundown: What happened at the White House Correspondents Dinner and what comes next

from 10 Minute Drill · host Matt Whitlock

April 27 on The 10 Minute Drill: We break down the biggest political and national security stories of the day, including fallout from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner assassination attempt and the growing questions surrounding Secret Service practices - as Democrats continue to hold their funding hostage. What are we learning about the shooter, and what does this mean for Democrats amid the DHS shutdown fight? Plus, House Republicans push for hearings and accountability. We also cover Iran’s latest offer to the United States after Trump reportedly turned planes around Friday, why Tehran’s proposal on the Strait of Hormuz is being viewed as a nonstarter, and what comes next in the standoff over nuclear negotiations. In Virginia, oral arguments begin before the Virginia Supreme Court over Democrats’ controversial redistricting nuclear option, with the future of the new maps hanging in the balance. We discuss House Republicans’ reconciliation push to reopen ICE and CBP, President Trump’s demand that the Senate advance the Clarity Act despite banking industry opposition, and King Charles’ White House visit amid a chilly period in U.S.-UK relations.
