California's recall election results are in (at least most of them) and Gavin Newsom will stave off the efforts to oust him from office. We'll talk to the Wall Street Journal's Christine Mai-Duc to get some perspective from the west coast.

We'll also dig into two days of Capitol Hill testimony for Secretary of State Antony Blinken about the Afghanistan withdrawal, as Politico's Bryan Bender returns to the show.

And we'll pay homage to the memory of Saturday Night Live alum Norm Macdonald, who died of cancer on Tuesday.
