HAMILTON: “I don't think Medicare for all is the right approach. And even though it sounds great, I don't think it's going to pass… I think what we need to do is figure out, how do we ensure that everyone has access to affordable health care, no matter who they are? But I think even using the term Medicare for all alienates a whole group of people that we need to be able to pass some kind of health care reform that allows everyone to have affordable health care.”

BASH: “You're still fully behind Abdul El-Sayed?” STEVENS: “Look, I'm on the Democratic ticket. I can't say that I agree with everything that's gone on… I'm looking to be on the team to support my next governor Jocelyn Benson, and frankly these great Democrats who are working their tails off, who are going to make Hakeem Jeffries the first black Speaker of the House.” BASH: “You didn't mention Abdul El-Sayed in that last answer.” STEVENS: “Well, look, I would just say, you had asked me if I'm still on the team, I'm on the team.”

Former Vice President Mike Pence says he's "heartened" to hear that former CIA Officer Julia Curlee - a trans woman who served as his daily briefer during the first Trump term - said that he treated her with "great dignity." BASH: "I spoke to her earlier this week, and she said despite your different views, you treated her with "great dignity," and a big moment for her in her life was you telling her mother that you must be very proud of your daughter. What was your reaction to hearing her say that?" PENCE: "I appreciate the kind words ... My conservative values are fairly well-known, but maybe some people didn't quite know that among our Christian values is — my wife and I believe in treating others the way that we'd like to be treated, with decency and respect. And I was heartened to hear Julia reflect that that was the experience that took place in our office."

Former Biden White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator, Dr. Ashish Jha, tells Dana Bash, "When I went into the White House, my view was this was almost surely a natural outbreak, maybe a lab leak. Based on information I learned and based on information I've seen, I have come to conclude that it is more likely to have been a lab leak."

BASH: “Are you going to finish out your term if you win?” SHAPIRO: “Listen, the only thing I'm focused on, I'm going to give you the same answer I've given you multiple times, is this race for governor is winning a trifecta in Harrisburg so I can raise wages, codify abortion rights in Pennsylvania…” BASH: “Okay, that wasn't a yes for four years.” SHAPIRO: “That was my answer.”

.Faiz on Abdul El-Sayed’s ties to Hasan Piker: “When Tony Hinchcliffe says a joke at the end of a Trump campaign and there's decrying that, ‘hey, you know, that guy doesn't speak for Donald Trump,’ they’re right. Nick Fuentes dines with Donald Trump, ‘no, Nick Fuentes doesn't speak for Donald Trump.’ And then, you know, even if Hakeem Jeffries meets with Jared Kushner, if Gavin Newsom sits down with Steve Bannon – in a democracy, those should be fine. You are listening to voices. Who speaks for Abdul? Abdul speaks for Abdul.”

TAPPER: “What’s your response when people say, look, this is ugly, but it's a part of politics, and Republicans were trying to do it too?” SULLIVAN: “Here's my response to that. I don't do it. I haven't done it. You know me, Jake, that's not my style. That's not what I would do. And the reason I wouldn't do it is because I respect the people I represent.”

BASH: "You posted a picture of what you said was yourself as a clown. Can you explain what you were trying to say here?" REP. GARCIA: "This is a joke. I mean, basically what I'm saying is when Republicans go low, what we're not going to do anymore is just take that, take the high road and turn the other cheek. We're going to get down and be in that fight ... And so Republicans want to play games. They want to play rough and tumble. They're coming in with all of their arsenal. We got to do the same thing as Democrats. The days of us not fighting back are over."

BASH: "The Canadian prime minister blamed ‘unfair’, last-minute demands by the U.S., saying the administration ‘asked too much and offered too little’ and that Canada is effectively ‘at war’ with the U.S. on trade. Does that help Americans right now? PENCE: "I think the last thing we need right now as our economy is getting back on its feet, is a trade war with Canada ... I know the tough line President Trump draws. It usually is accompanied with short-term action and hot rhetoric. We're getting the same from the Canadians. But my hope is, for the sake of American families and for the sake of the American economy, that what we're looking at here is negotiation and not confrontation in a trade war."
