56:19Now PlayingOn Capitol Hill, Republicans are finally moving their reconciliation package forward.
The Senate voted this afternoon to begin debate on the measure, which no longer includes funding for President Trump's proposed White House ballroom.
The bill also comes after Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed that the administration's proposed $1.8 billion IRS "Anti-Weaponization Fund" has been dropped from the package.
Democrats, however, are vowing a fight as Republicans push to advance the legislation using the reconciliation process. We'll have the latest on where the bill stands coming up.
It was also a busy day of hearings on Capitol Hill.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio faced questions from lawmakers on Iran and U.S. foreign policy before the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended the administration's settlement with the IRS during a Senate Finance Committee hearing.
And Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told lawmakers he is reviewing contracts signed during the tenure of former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
Plus, Campaign 2026 enters a new phase following primary elections in seven states. We'll look at the results and hear what candidates had to say in several closely watched races, including contests in California and Iowa.
