Live updates: Schiff calls Patel a ‘conspiracy theorist,' says Pelosi ‘recovering from the surgery well’

Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) said on Sunday that he believes former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard needs “good coaching” before her Senate confirmation hearings, but he has confidence in her.

He joined NewsNation’s “The Hill” on Sunday, where he weighed in on the ongoing controversy surrounding Gabbard’s confirmation.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Sunday joined CNN in one of his last interviews before retiring from Congress.

Romney, a frequent critic of President-elect Trump who ran an unsuccessful bid against former President Obama in 2012, announced he would not seek reelection in late 2023.

At the time, Romney told reporters that he did not plan to endorse anyone to replace him.

Wisconsin Democratic Chairman Ben Wikler will appear on NewsNation’s “The Hill,” where he will discuss his bid for chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) as the current leader, Jaime Harrison, is not seeking reelection.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is set to appear on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Sanders has been in the spotlight after he said in an interview that he likely won’t seek reelection after his term ends in 2030.

“Fox News Sunday” will host Connecticut Rep. Jim Himes (D), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. His appearance comes amid several drone sightings in New Jersey and different parts of the country.

Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) will appear on ABC’s “This Week” as New Jersey has been among the areas that mysterious drone sightings have rattled.
