Synopsis
Vice President JD Vance joins Meet the Press as President Trump travels to the Middle East to sign a deal aimed at ending the Gaza war, while tensions mount in Washington as the government shutdown drags on with no end in sight. In an interview with Meet the Press, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) warns that Americans' "health care is running toward a cliff" if Republicans and Democrats cannot negotiate a solution to end the government shutdown. In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) weighs in on the government shutdown and the peace deal between Israel and Hamas, which he hopes leads to the end to the war in Gaza.
