Dana Bash

James Talarico is already facing GOP attacks for how he talks about his faith. @niamalikah tells @DanaBashCNN that Republicans are hoping that criticism can win over "traditional Black and Brown voters who are very religious, social conservatives."

As President Trump marks his third check-up at Walter Reed since being inaugurated last year, @bterris takes us inside his "surreal" interview with Trump and his doctors when a doctor told him "without skipping a beat... President Trump is healthier" than President Obama.

@RapidResponse47 If only ! Thanks for watching.

You know him as Dr. Robby from "The Pitt" or Dr. Carter from "ER", and on Capitol Hill, Noah Wyle is using his TV doctor fame to advocate for healthcare workers.

CNN's @IsaacDovere obtained the draft of the DNC's 2024 autopsy report that the party chair was hoping would stay hidden forever. He joined the Inside Politics panel reporting that many felt the draft report was "at best incomplete, if not wrong or contorted."

Straight from Capitol Hill to the Inside Politics studio! Noah Wyle tells @DanaBashCNN about his efforts on Capitol Hill and what to expect from season 3 of "The Pitt".

Spent time with Noah Wyle as he lobbied lawmakers in Congress for legislation to help real life health care professionals. Tune in 12n et / 9a pt on @insidepolitics

Pete Buttigieg has long opposed gerrymandering but said this morning, "If Republicans are going to do this, Democrats have to try to offset it."

Rep. Auchincloss: "Do you agree that RFK Jr. should resign?" Rep. Carter: "No, I do not agree. Absolutely not. RFK Jr. Is doing his job and I applaud him for doing his job." Rep. Auchincloss: "Doing his job even though measles is spreading throughout the country right now?" Rep. Carter: "No, measles is not spreading through the country right now. He's gonna get it under control."

Buttigieg on Senator Cassidy's primary defeat: "Senator Cassidy is a normal, honest and very conservative Republican. And it turns out people like that have less and less of a home in Donald Trump's Republican Party."

Buttigieg on how Democrats can earn trust and win at the polls: "Democrats need to be making clear what it is that we would actually do differently. It's not enough to just be against the other guy."

Buttigieg on Vice President Vance's criticism of Democrats as "the party of left-wing radicalism": "When you're out there doing that kind of name calling, it shows how removed you are from the center of gravity of the American people."

Buttigieg on Secretary Duffy's road trip reality series: "I actually took a taxpayer funded road trip lasting about seven months. It was in Afghanistan."
