Congress

Winner of the Democratic nomination is likely to face Republican Kim Klacik in November.

Midday is joined by New York Times Reporter Luke Broadwater for the latest in Congress. We also hear from WYPR Reporters on news from the Archdiocese of Baltimore and Key Bridge recovery.

Gov. Wes Moore spent the morning lobbying Congress, and the afternoon signing bills, including one giving aid to workers affected by suspended activity at the Port of Baltimore.

President Joe Biden toured the wreckage of the Key Bridge Friday and addressed the media after.

Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski Jr. joins Midday to discuss his plans to represent Maryland in Congress.

The Baltimore region has two seats in the U.S. House of Representatives up for election with no incumbent. In one race, there’s a clear front-runner; in another, no one has an advantage, according to new polling.

Both still have to win their prospective primaries.

Olszewski says a possible fall matchup with Klacik would offer a “stark contrast.”

In today's newswrap, Tom hears about congressional attempts to pass a bipartisan immigration bill. We also discuss the U.S. Supreme Court hearing arguments on whether Donald Trump can be disqualified from holding public office.

It sets up a possible match with Olszewski in the fall.
