Peter Alexander previews the GOP's midterm convention in Texas this week. An event that's supposed to rally support for the base has many Republicans privately wishing it wasn't happening at all. Congresswoman Madeleine Dean (D-PA) talks about her plans to protest the Trump event. Also, Democratic Congressional candidate Stefany Shaheen joins Peter fresh off her primary win in New Hampshire. She discusses the race to fill her mother's seat and what her priorities will be if she wins the election. Postal workers are pushing back on President Trump's executive ordering limiting mail-in ballots, arguing mail shouldn't be political. Jonathan Smith, President of the American Postal Workers Union, joins Peter. And another controversial no-bid contract from the White House. MS Now shares a glimpse behind the curtain of that deal.
