Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan

Three years ago, Hamas massacred 1200 people in Israel, and took 254 people hostage.
As national security council coordinator under former President Biden, Brett McGurk worked to secure their release, a challenge he writes about in his new book, BRINK. We spoke with McGurk last week.

This week on Face the Nation, one month away from midterms and the pressure on the President to do something about high prices is building
With control of the House and Senate at stake, President Trump has been on a red state road trip to get Republicans to the polls.
Our new CBS poll has troubling news for the President's party. With 9 in 10 voters saying they rate the economy on the basis of prices, 7 in 10 say that Trump's policies are making food and grocery prices go up, and 9 in 10 says the conflict with Iran is making US gas and oil prices either a lot or a little higher. With early voting now underway, it may be too late for Trump to turn things around.
We'll talk with energy Secretary Chris Wright about new efforts to get gas prices down. Plus we'll ask Zach Lahn , the Republican running for governor in Iowa.
Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly also weighs in.
All that and more ahead on Face the Nation.

This week on Face the Nation, President Trump turns his focus to the midterm elections, following a week of high-stakes summits with foreign allies and adversaries.

The president spent much last week striding the world stage without ever leaving the U.S., first delivering a stark warning to Iran in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly.

So what is the status of that potential deal? In a network exclusive, we'll hear from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on his country's latest offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the conflict.

Then, Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to Washington drew no shortage of pomp and circumstance, but behind it all, serious tensions remain. Chief among them, the status of Taiwan. We'll check in with the territory's representative to the U.S., Ambassador Alexander Yui.

Plus, with midterm elections just weeks away, Republicans are scrambling to save their majority in both houses. We'll ask Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy about the outlook for the GOP and Connecticut Democratic Congressman Jim Himes on his party's plan to govern if it does take the majority.

It's all just ahead on Face the Nation.

This week on Face the Nation, President Trump bars three major news organizations from covering the White House as Republican concern over the impact of his policies continues to grow.
The countdown clock to the midterm elections continues to tick down, but the rest of the numbers affecting the economy continue to go up. We're now 200 days into the war with Iran...and gas prices remain high, with diesel prices at new record highs.
But promises those gas prices will come down soon are wearing thin with some Republicans. Especially in Iowa, where farmers are struggling and where two House Republicans in tight races voted last week to oppose the President's open-ended war in Iran. And Trump's deportation policy is an issue for Republicans in some districts, Florida Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar made a direct appeal to the President in a campaign ad.
We'll talk with Congresswoman Salazar, California Democrat Ro Khanna, plus Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy and Trump first term economic advisor Gary Cohn.
Finally, we'll hear another viewpoint in the debate over how to manage the fast moving pace of Artificial Intelligence development as our Jo Ling Kent spoke with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
It's all just ahead on Face the Nation.

This week on Face the Nation, a major development in the Artificial Intelligence arms race, and our election year battleground tracker reveals where the race for control of Congress stands less than two months from election day.

As the midterm election campaign pace picked up dramatically last week, so did America's anxiety over AI. Dario Amodei is the head of Anthropic. We'll have more of Amodei's first on CBS conversation with our Jo Ling Kent.

Then, on to politics. We'll talk with Utah Republican Governor Spencer Cox as well as Michigan Democratic Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Plus we have brand new findings showing where the battle for Congress stands, and Norah O'Donnell will preview tonight's season premiere of 60 Minutes. It’s all just ahead on Face the Nation.
